Re: Wednesday May 2nd...Thanks for being our tour guide Brick! 380 miles (+/-) for us flatlanders. Great company for a fun ride on a gorgeous day.
Lunch at the Tributary in Mtn City. Broz lost his head there for a minute. Bob

Re: Wednesday May 2nd...Yall heard me moaning about the B's handling the 2nd half of the ride. Get home and take a close look at the tires, front tire is toast at 1800 miles--TWI's at outer edges are flush with tread surface. 'Maybe' one more 200 mile 'gentle' ride left but that might be pushing it. So much for Bridgestone Battlax's. Rear tire looked good, 4-5mm tread left. PR4 on order. The sooner I can eliminate that CLT to Morganton "commute", the better.

Re: Wednesday May 2nd...
Yeah it sucks. But *maybe the rear will make up for it and go 4K+ instead of 3K as on the RT. If so I'll just have to change the fronts more than rears but in the end it should cost a little less. The B's front tire is the exact same size as the RT's, yet it weighs 150 lbs more and is more front-heavy esp when braking. Edit: just found reviews on these Bridgestone tires at Revzilla--none good and this one sounds just like me--maybe these are strictly OEM el cheapo tires:

Re: Wednesday May 2nd...You forgot to tell everyone how lucky I was....got a flat, noticed it after lunch 20’ from gas station and Napa Autoparts. It was a good thing cuz I needed more rubber cement. The old openeded tube evaporated. Probably a good idea to keep an in-opened tube on the bike at all times. Had Air hose at my disposal. Easiest flat repair ever.
The Later in the day I found a wad of cash in Red Hill. Lucky Irishman!
Re: Wednesday May 2nd...Yea and he didn’t share his lucky find with us! [FLUSHED FACE]

Re: Wednesday May 2nd...Broz, I just had a flashback--I dropped that money when I pulled my wallet out on the way into the gas station. Glad you found it! Just hang onto it until the next ride.
