Finished the Install of my front fender rails and chrome tips!  That's the good news. I drilled a hole in my front tire! That's the bad news!  |  "Robert" 2008 Rocket III Touring | |

I've seen them do that on American Chopper before, so don't feel too bad.  | | There is no replacement for displacement. | |

You said the tire had 6,000 miles on it. How many more miles did you think you were going to get out of the tire? I had to put a new front tire on last fall while over in Arkansas for the BB&BBQ. I left the house thinking I had plenty of miles left on it. After 2 days of hitting the twistes, I had to have a new tire on in order to finish the week end. The pisser was that I had a new Avon waiting to be put on at the house. The only tire I could find was a Metz. So how many miles can be expected to get out of a front tire?

Maybe this incident will save me from myself.  | "Robert" 2008 Rocket III Touring | |

Robert,
might as well put a CT on the back end while you're at it.
