chandu_732 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wow, this is a touchy subject just like oil is. I am going to try and tread lightly, is your front a Dunlop? What kind of riding do you do or plan to do. Dual compounds, sport, sport touring you need to know the model you are buying.Thanks Uncle Punk for your response. My front and rear tires currently are Bridgestone Battlax and Super8 doesn't have them in stock. I ordered one online and it'll be here next week. Dealer told me that the front tire has enough thread to last 2 more seasons. BTW, I'm riding with you guys this Sunday . So I don't have any other option than riding with my worn rear tire. Once I meet you guys Sunday morning, if you think that might become dangerous then probably I'll back off . I'm riding the bike (70 mile round trip) twice/thrice a week and I feel pretty comfortable though.Let's see how this goes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bebo600rr Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 No you don't but I'm not going to recommend otherwise. Will you still be under a RPM restriction after your first service? I'm too lazy to remember. Hope to see you there.No i wont be under a RPM restriction because they will have check my valves and check all clearances and change my oil.... but i should be there if it doesnt rain to hard lol....

r1crusher Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'm officially out. The wife needs me to come down to the Nati to help care for her ill father (tumor in the brain).

InyaAzz Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hey guys and gals...this is the ride Nazi...I'd just like to stress the importance of the start time. Some of us REALLY need to get back before dark, and sitting at Circle K for 30 minutes shooting the shit won't help. I'm not anti-social , I'd just like to get going ASAP so we can get back before dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thank you ride Nazi... From the meeting place wheels will be turning at 8:45 I will be there at 8:30 to be gassed up and ready to leave by then. If you arrive late catch up to us but we do not wait for you until you are part of the group. After that the group will make sure we stay together and that no one has a problem. No one will be left behind unless we all agree on that decision. Remember there is a detour on 83; plan accordingly to make our departure time. With all that said, shit happens, bikes break down, a whole lot of other unforeseen things can and will take place. The leaving time does not have a lot if any spare room for this but who wants to leave at 8:00 especially if it takes them an hour to make it to our leaving spot. The Columbus and Dayton crews could have an issue in route that might delay our departure once we get to Coshocton and we might delay them, this is one of the pitfalls of group riding. We will be doing two loops around the Coshocton area, if we leave for the first loop at 11:00 that gives us seven hours to do both loops so we can start heading home by 6:00, this should get us home by dark. Adam has stated he has plans for 6:00 so I’m sure he will be doing what he can to make this happen. I mapped out the first loop last night and it is 77 miles and it takes 2:08 to complete. This gives us plenty of time to gas up again for the second loop and complete it by 6:00, maybe, shit happens. As far as group rides go this will be as organized as possible for the size of the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 UP, I'm bringing at least one person to the meet point. He rode with us before...last year. Younger guy..red Honda I believe.
