I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16)
Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you:
Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere
Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel)
C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel
Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 [Reply]

I don't think I am. It was 6:30 yesterday morning so still dark... Was going around a curve at about 45 and hit a patch of leaves.. I don't remember exactly what happened after that... Just remember laying in the road with pain in my elbows, and leg. [Reply]

I'm doin alright man... Am filing my claim today.
The bike has a caved in tank, broken LED Mirror, highway pegs got jacked up... turn signal light broken off... and tons of scrapes\scratches across it.... other than that.... it'll be fixable... doubt it's totaled.
I just got some road rash, a twisted knee, banged up elbows, ripped up jeans\jacket, and a very bruised ego. A week later, I've got no ill effects (save the ego). [Reply]

Figured I'd post this. I'm riding on Sunday for this event. I don't have any affiliation with it, I just like trying to do one charity ride per month when weather cooperates. Sunday looks like decent riding weather. If anyone ends yo wanting to go, hit me up if you're interested in riding out to the event together. My brother and I are two "for sures" with a few invites out to some of our normal riding buddies. All are welcome to roll out with us,,
