Shouldn't owning a bike be a pre-requisit to chat in here?

I hate you all.

I usually go to Hollink because they are so close. They won't do inspections after 4:00 on weekdays, so I have to go on Saturday, which can be crowded this time of year. I had my tires done at West Side Cycles near work, on Dewey, last time. I think I will have them do my inspections from now on. (BTW, they charge half of what Hollink does to mount and balance.)

Edited my post. Total cycle wasn't the shop I was thinking about. Never heard of Total Cycle. It is in walking distance of my brother's house though.

Are you going Michelin???

Here is what I'm looking at - I think you ride more aggressively than I do, so instead of Sport & Touring, I'm looking at Sport & Touring, and of course Michelin will be the last tire I ever consider because of F1 Debacle

Maybe this Sat when it is raining I'll drive over in the truck and ask them about their mount and balance price
I'm not comfortable enough with motorcycle maintenance to remove and install the wheels, so I will have to take the bike over and drop it off

Damn, I drive by there all the time on Sunday, it's right next to one of my all time favorite corners
Thanks Mark, I totally forgot about them

I currently have Michelin Pilot Roads. Thinking of the Road 2, or Road 3 this time. They are both dual compound, the Road 3 has siping for wet weather use.
