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.

Thanks. Could've been worse, no other cars or anything but it was so fast. I couldn't do a thing but feel disbelief.

Dam...glad you are ok.
When it happens to you your mind is like..."Is this happening?"
Freaky thing going down on a bike.

damn dude.. that sucks.... I was lucky the two times I put bikes down.. 1st hit gravel out by Clinton Lake and found the tall grass on the side of the road... 2nd was only going about 20 and hit a patch of slop that had fallen off the back of a cement truck.. I hit pretty good, but was going slow enough no damage (had full road gear on that time)... the bike's both time got a bit mangled... but them scars can be fixed.

I would LOVE to own one. for a while, they could be had for damn cheap on the used market. I haven't scouted them for a few years now, however, so I'm not sure if that's changed at all.

Still cheap on CL -- I paid $5500 for that one, but it only had like 1k miles on it. Shit, it had yet to broken in! So I went and red-lined it over the broadway bridge:-)

Glad you're OK holmes. When I lowsided at about 50 in a left sweeper, it was the same feeling. Boom. Happened in an instant and I remember tumbling being pissed that my bike was most likely AFU.

Glad to see you came out alright CC. Cracking up on the smoke in your hand. "Let's take a picture." "Hold on and let me grab my smoke"

Well if the bike doesn't kill you what can a few smokes do?
