Hi All, due to some health issues I have been riding much over the last bunch of years, I'm finally back out and need tires for my GSX-R. My usual supplier isn't around anymore, where's a decent place to get tires these days?

Hey Ric, I'm pretty sure the guy that rides the electric bike with us at the SWOVTG runs the whole day without a charge. The only thing I find is that the electric trials bikes are loader than the new gas ones.

I thought about that but it's a Vintage Motorcycle Group and unfortunately some of the guys are more vintage than the bikes. These guys could reassemble a basket case triumph with their eyes closded but don't expect them to use that interweb thing.

I tried GMail once before for another group I'm involved with. As soon as you attempt to send an email to a bunch of people their spam software locks you out of gmail and you have to go through a procedure to get it back

I've done that before with smaller lists, I just didn't want to type in all 85 people. And Live as they call it now will only allow 20 or so in a list, so I end up with 5 separate lists.
