    Why am I getting such long tire life?

    My roadsmarts were looking great at 8k miles too but were shot before 10k. It seemed like they were gonna last forever but then practically overnight they just wore out.

    Sidecase Lid Angle

    Thank you, that was one of those things that annoyed me but not enough to look too closely at it. Actually I just avoided the left sid bag all together. Not any more!

    I think that bike committed suicide..

    Good stuff, I cant believe how nice his friends were not to slam him. They would have had to break out the O2 tank and heart paddles if I were there to revive me from all the hazing and laughing Id be doing!
