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]

Haven't owned a bike since back then, had a Ducati 900 SS, a Triumph bonneville silver jubilee and Norton commando (not at the same time though). Fuck japan.
Also Mick Doohan is God. [Reply]
I've never owned a bike other than a bicycle, but I've wanted an old motorcycle for quite some time. Was considering an old CB or Norton, I love the cafe racer style, but after talking to some guys at work I think I would be better off buying a newer cafe bike. Considering a Triumph Scrambler or Moto Guzzi V7.
Cool thing about the Scrambler, it has the high side pipes similar to the Triumph that Evel Knievel used to jump on in the late 60's the one he crashed at Caesar's palace on. [Reply]

I loved watching AMA and WSB during the Colin Edwards, Nicky Hayden, Troy Bayliss (probably my favorite ), eras . I can't stand Ben Spies for some reason. [Reply]
Straight Six, 1050CC. Six cylinders, six carbs, 8200 redline, zero to 100 and back again in less than 10 seconds. Unmistakable engine note, like a Ferrari V12. [Reply]
