Anything on 2 wheels is better than anything on 4 wheels I always say. Actually I kinda liked those Blasts and was looking at them a while back, I'm now 4" shorter than I was when I bought my current bike. Found a couple good forums on them but lost the links, recall they liked the Avon and Pirelli scooter tires if you need tires. Hard to find tires that fit the Blasts in oem sizes.
