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]

Except he blasted a wheelie a good 30 yards. Next thing we know a cop flys past my brother and I to chase home down, and did (guy pulled over). Saw hime later at the bike night. Man. That glide was a beast. All beat up. Four different colors. But that dude could ride the shit out of it. I think he was even wearing a novelty Viking helmet. Not even kidding :-).
I'm sure I'll see that bike this yr. I'll try to get a picture of it. The combination of what the bike and what the rider look like is gold.....and somehow perfectly symbiotic. Lol [Reply]
Ooooooooooo. Ouch.
Sort of that same bracket when Ducati came out with their retro sport classic. It was kick ass. But a little steep. Always wanted one though
But....."small price to pay for being cool". [Reply]

....and lemme tell ya'all about that Duc (or any of them. For that matter)when I saw one like the one in the picture take off from down on the Plaza here in KC........ Sounded like a Corvette taking off. Holy shit it was beautiful. Love at first sound. [Reply]
