2talltim

let me ask what tires do you currently have and how many miles are on them?

pilot powers 2ct about 3000

from what you guy say now i think i want to buy 2 sets...LOL...i think they are discontinued thats why the low price...they are no longer listed on the michelin web site

Ok i know this is a mostly touring tire but id like to hear some opinions on it, IP has a good deal on these for around $200 for a pair...would i regret buying these at this price?..probobly 85% of my riding is touring/cruiser style i only hit the twisties every now and then...i havent even used the outer 1/2" of my 190/50 so im no leaner..i know the 2ct's are a much better tire but that would be at a $100 increase in price...any opinions are welcome

:confused:am I the pending sale?..confused?

I Guess that counts me..i was on my phone...lol

If You can do paypal or a credit card I can come a early as tonight

IF I can call dibs and come mid next week you can call them sold...get paid on wednesday..let me know..or if you have paypal I might be able to do sooner

I'm thinking about quaker steak bike night tonight..but won't be till after 430 ish

on second thought I think I'll head north east and hit some twisties... why waste a afternoon like this on the freeway ride and a parking lot stand

I Have some Joe Rocket "big bang"boots...they are perfect for me because I have very wide feet plus they are styled for sport and cruiser...they were very stiff at first but wore in quickly..i think they are around $100 but I got mine for $50 on e-gay

Ah forgot about the 600 shadows performance on the freeway. My dad owned one a few years back and I recall it not being much of a freeway bike

yea my last trip to deals gap one of my freinds had his 600 shadow, it sounded like a Model Airplane motor back there when my bike said 75 mph he said his spedo read 85+ and he said a couple times (down hill) he would try to catch up with us and hit his rev limit, those bike just need another gear WTF was honda thinking putting a 4 speed in them...she wants a sporty 1200 but she still dont like the long hauls

Ride your bikes thats what they are for, unless your doing a track day ride to your destination

i do 90% of the time but my wife cant stand long freeway trips plus her little 600 shadow struggles to keep up at 75+mph on hi way..so for the couple trips a year she goes with (plus trips with the kids)thats where the trailer comes in

Shit I think I need 190s or I'd be all over this.

Edit. Yup. I need a 190/50.

Someone get this it's a sweet deal on a Looooonng lasting grippy set of tarz.

My TL has a stock 190/50 but iv put a 180/55 on it before it accually make it turn in quicker

It is a 2006 Saturn Ion with the 2.4L and yes its a standard. I babied it on the way back through the mountains, not because I worried about the car but because I worried about the bike.

Ok little bit different story here you have a 4 banger standard vs. my large v6 3.9L w/automatic...i have seen guys pulling bikes with honda civics and yoder celica's and i always wondered how those held up..i would say they are comparable to your saturn...thanks for sharing

Howdy!!!...what kind of scooter you going to be looking for?

damn if didnt already spend so much money this weekend id be all over these...be a few weeks before i get my bank roll back up

I Always wave unless im pulling in the clutch at the time

Good luck not breaking anything. My story FWIW: Less than 2Kmi after I traveled 1000mi with a trailer to and a bike from NC, my GM tranny crapped out. It was only at 42k mi at that point and there was rapid degradation in transmission performance within 4 months. It first came on with a slight grind into 4th, eventually it wouldn't engage 4th at all and 5th started to grind. GM says it was the syncros on reverse, 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th that went bad.

What kind if car did you have if you dont mind me asking..sounds like a standard is this true?

Mine

hers

Weight. U shouldn't tow anything heavier that what you're pulling it with.

no problem there that impala weighs 3700 lbs

Well i went ahead with the TSC trailer...for now it will be fine with no Mods...because pulling the trailer w/ the TL and Shadow on it im only at 1150lbs total weight the car is "BOOK" rated to tow 1000lbs so i dont think that 150 will hurt anything with just 2 occcuants and light lugage

later on if i decide to tow anything heavier ill look in trans cooler and or a different tow rig...because ill be buying a new car becore i buy a new bike so it will be a couple years

but heres some food for thought the 2007 chevy uplander van had the same engine and tranny as my car and it is rated to tow 3500lbs?
