There are two types of rider. Those who have done proper serious mileage on the D/S and those who have not.

- Thread starter BillyIndiana
- Start date
Wish I could claim to be in the first category, but I managed only 130,000 miles.

Ian hit it on the head - 130K does NOT actually count as serious - not quite.Chris,
That depends on how serious the meaning of the word "serious" is. . .

Very nice read. And like said, it probably won't be long before a car tire company makes a tire that's certified for a motorcycle. I still have a hard time understanding why a car tire store can not sell a motorcycle tire, and visa versa. And the huge mark up on motorcycle tires is a rip off, for sure. I had a CT on my 2013 Roadster, (Raptor) but just couldn't get used to the un-easy feeling on cornering. I switched the wheel and tire to my soon to be drag race low rider Rocket, designed for straights only. Now on the 2013, I have an Avon Cobra on the front, and a Bridgstone on the rear. And on my 05, I have a pair of Avons, that cost me right at $500 for the pair. Ridiculous! BTW, I like the Avon/Bridgstone combo better.

Eh? - Really? - Explains a lot.
Here we have TYRE places. They sell Tyres. Some of the upmarket ones sell brakes and oil too. Even Anti-freeze.
