Dang, poor thing has more trailer miles than that.

In the snow no less

It's finally warming up and I'm sick

I broke down and ordered a set of T30 EVOs

For the trailer?

 

[ScubaCinci]

Need stickier tires than that for the trailer, silly!

[ScubaCinci]

So I bought the tires from RM ATV and went to Bridgestone's site and filled out/submitted the rebate form on 3/21. On Bridgestone's site it says the rebate request was received. Today I got an email from RM ATV saying I should fill out the rebate request via their site "that facilitates the rebate process". I'm guessing that I don't need to do this since I submitted everything already and it should be sufficient but I'm wondering if I should hedge my bets and fill it out in case the first one is NIGO for some reason. I just don't want them denying it altogether for duplicate submission. Did anyone do both?

Fill out the 2nd one. Bridgestone approved mine twice. Had the same thing happen with Pirelli and got 2 rebate cards.

[ScubaCinci]

Done! It does say up to 2 reward claims per HH.

I'm just gonna take the gift cards and buy more tires. The funny part is Bridgestone was advertising a $50 per set rebate. When you submit it, the confirmations says $100. Got one of my $100 cards last week.

There was some MugshotBook promotion too. I guess they decided it was easier to give to all than to verify or somebody put the business rule in wrong.

Even if I only get one $50 gift card out of the promotion,  I got a set of tires for lesd than the cost of my rear PR4.

I didn't know your given name was Bubba?

I let @JustinNck1 slide since he saved my life last fall. But you are stealing from Bridgestone driving the costs of tires up for everyone else.

Shame on you!!

They should have better controls in place to prevent double-dipping. Maybe your whiz-kid can skool them in getting their technology tightened up. Besides, I technically bought 2 sets of tires...one set happened to be attached to a bike. I just hope the end up being good tires.

So next time we travel together if you don't have your top case locked I can help myself?

If you really need a CPAP it's all yours

Actually, since I've lost so much weight my dependence on a CPAP is minimal. On the last trip I had to sleep several nights without it and my wife said I was breathing just fine. No snoring or apnea episodes that she could discern. So, on motorcycle road trips I might leave that sucker behind because it takes up so much room.

Yeah carrying a CPAP on the bike takes up a lot of space, and while everyone else has a flask of good stuff, my flask is filled with distilled water.

[ScubaCinci]

When I travel, I usually just used bottled water. I have a spare water reservoir that I use for travel because bottled water tends to leave behind mineral deposit stains. Actually, every time I get a new one, I throw away the oldest and use the previous one for this purpose. Same with the hose.

Apparently someone with a conscience over on the FZ1 forum contacted Bridgestone and let them know of their error(s) which they are amending so it doesn't continue to happen 

[Tonik]

Damn, wish I hd thought of that.

[2talltim]

Not really anything about catching the double dipping but here Is the email that went out about them catching the $100 rebate error

There will always be "do gooders" and jealousy to motivate self righteousness.
