You still have a door?

Sheesh. You must know Obumper or one of his drones or something.


The new BO Universal Peace at any Cost (or as much as Bernanke can print)
specifically states that all doors must be removed and/or be drone friendly,
lest one those pesky terrorists and wikileakers is sitting in the privacy
of his home not wearing the gov. mandated burka.

Wow, the list of topics in this thread alone must be some kind of record. Tire patches, new tires, old tires, gear, no gear, poor gear choices, lane splitting, NSA, mackerel, holy or otherwise (unholy mackerel?) ...

I was just curious about that 180/60/16 rear tire up on the first page. Bridgestone G704? Looks like it fits? The chain appears to get around it - or have you done anything to squeeze it in there? (Is that on your 750, Brutus?) Does it rub the inside of the swingarm at all?

Sorry for the interruption; back to the previously unscheduled off-topic discussion :mrgreen: :lol: ;)
Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.

If ever there was a thread to go sideways, one titled "Puncture" would surely be it, and so it did.
Like a puncture at speed, it ended up in the weeds wandering aimlessly and now there's mud on the boots, the local flora and fauna run over rough shod, and the search party won't be around for days. But letting off the throttle is for sissies.

Cheers, Phil

I'll add Formula 1.

Pirelli should let me repair their tires.

Crazy.
