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.

Yikes! Better hope he doesn't accidentally go over that.

Here are some picts of the new bike, I get some better ones soon.

I should be out riding but the weather turned.

Nice bike.

The weather turned to what?

If it's not 20 degrees with the wind blowing, you should be out enjoying that new ride. :-)

hmm.. that's tempting, I might go

I've been to a few of their events, and it's usually not a bad time. I went to a Hawaiian themed deal a few months back in the dead of winter; roasted pig (then entire damned pig was inside) / pulled port sammiches, beer, etc. Good way to spend an hour or so.

After a long 3 hour ride last week, i stopped in for an event they were having, and grabbed a free brat and beer to rest my old ass for a bit lol.

I forget which night of the week their bike nights are; but i know Worth's nights are on Thursdays I believe. I'm sure Rawhide will publish something on their bike night schedule for this year (if they haven't already done so).

Nice color on that street glide, done anything to it yet?
[Reply]

I was just going to comment on the color as well. There are a ton of Black SGs here locally. I rarely see any other color.

his color looks killer.

If anyone is planning to roll to Rawhide tonight, i'll probably be there around 5:30. Most likely wearing my "I Am Mother Fucker" t shirt. lol. nah - but I'll probably be donning my Alabama hat.

come out and mingle, and get Dayze's autograph.

Thanks, I'm really happy with the color. I love black, but around here that's is 4 out of 5 bikes. We ride regularly with a group of may be 6 or 7 bikes and I think all are black.

The only thing added so far is highway pegs and new shifter pegs and probably a driver backrest.

I think I'm done adding stuff for a bit, I lost my ass on my last bike.
I wish I could have found a home for it rather than trading it in.

yep; there is definitely a point of diminishing returns.
I put $600 in mine (tank lift, coil relocation, ignition relocation, slip-ons, xIEDs).

I'm probably done with the exception of small stuff (grips etc).
