But the wear bars just started showing up about a thousand miles ago! It still had some rubber thickness. I thought it might be thinner, but it wasn't. Tough tires.

I just managed about 22.5k miles out of my K60's. I was very happy with them and decided to get another set.

I actually ran out of gas once. I went about 40 miles on reserve. Didn't take a picture though.

This is a good discussion and it has been very civil from my perspective. Extra cash - This is a good financial principle for many folks to follow. However, life events can sometime drain this. For example some folks have gone through a very nasty and expensive divorce, had a major uncovered...

I'm not furloughed, yet, but I'm also caught up in the lack of common sense by both the legislative and executive branches of government. However my wife is furloughed. If this keeps up, my issue is cash flow. It appears the Federal employees will be reimbursed. Which begs the question, why...

Snake - I just checked his website. It is NEW! But not quite there yet. Your comment about him giving in, appears to be at hand!

::026:: When folks call me a "Biker" I correct them and tell them I'm a motorcyclist. "Biker" IMO has a negative connotation that is associated to the 1%ers.

Optimistic - much better word. I guess the furlough issue here in our area is impacting my mood... :mad:

Bike Bandit is a good source. Tabasco has hooked up a good deal with Stadium Yamaha. You can get good deals through there too. Every so often they run a special with additional discounts. Another forum member and I pooled our money and purchased 100k worth of consumables (brake pads, oil...

::026:: This impacts me and my family as we live out here and have to deal with this current lack of rationality by both parties.
