I just go to Fartnine and order the latest version of the same tire I started with. Bridgestone Battlax T30, T31, T32 or whatever the heck they're up to now... I get the "GT" version since I think they're more betterer for a heavier bike like the FJR. Install is DIY.

Alsas, what say ye about the fact that the rim/bead doesn't fit..? Well... It sorta fits.

I recently watched a video that touched on the DS and it's potential for maybe not being such a good idea... 'Granted the guy doing the talking is a representative of a motorcycle tire manufacturer so he has a vested interest in people buying motorcycle tires over car tires, but... What he...

It's the bead/rim interface thing that scares me off going dark... Now, if someone were to manufacture a motorcycle rim that properly fits a car tire bead...If that's even possible, maybe then I'd try the DS. Moving on... When people do go DS do they prefer balance beads or wheel weights...

'Did the front tire today... And changed the oil. Also changed buddy's front and rear on his F800GSA... 'Probably leaving on Tuesday... We'll ride as far as Red Deer or so then split up... He's going to the Yukon... I'm going to the Okanagan. 'Meet up somewhere on the way back...

In anticipation of another journey to the Okanagan... New rear shoe for the mistress. I'll do the front tomorrow. Current tires only have about 8000km on them, but... By the time I get back, its about a 9000km 'round trip I think I'd be on racing slicks from somewhere in Saskatchewan until I...

We all are.

Handguns aren't as easy to use effectively as television might lead you to believe. Under ideal conditions a minimally trained/experienced person will miss... A lot. Add in fear, stress, panic and we'll, there goes your hit factor right out the window. Pistol rounds are also small and relatively...

Prostate meds.

I wonder what ramifications there could be if one were to crash, for whatever reason and the ins. co. finds out you had a car tire mounted...?

I said "we seek the twisties"... I didn't say we always find them.. ;-) Bike tires are consumables... Ill blow $500 on a set of good rubber, ride to BC and back, about 9000km and change them when I get home...

Riding along miles of flat straight hwy... Maybe, but who rides a bike to do that? We all seek the twisties..! Check out FortNine's take on it...

How f***ing cheap do you have to be to sacrifice the handling of your motorcycle by putting a car tire on 'er..? There's a "dark side" following within the FJR universe... To each their own, but... I'll run bike tires on my bike, car tires on my car and a spare tire under my belt.

It's all about the "feels"... Facts do not matter.

Here's the thing though.... they're not targeting the sieve. They're going after the most law abiding, safest segment of the population then grand standing like they've accomplished something. And people fall for it.

Nope... They'll just repackage the same old stuff and Canadins will buy it again. Guns get "surrendered" regularly for all sorts of reasons. To credit the governments disarmanment program with those is disingenuous. As far as guns being "bought" from legal owners... I don't know ANYONE or...

"Supposed to".... Yes. Lol. Look at it this way... not all cops are expert gun handlers. They're not all expert drivers either, but... Wuddya gonna do... ? *shrug* Im pretty sure I can get through life without being shot by a cop regardless of how bad they are at gun handling

I'd disagree, but qualify it by adding you must consider context.... If that's the right word. I 100% guarantee an infanteer of our CAF doesn't get their hands on ANY live ammunition unless under extremely controlled and supervised. conditions. Hence, muzzle control and trigger discipline are...
