....And I struggle to resist the "Dark Side." Here in Alaska the resources for obtaining a 240 tire seem to be getting fewer and fewer and now after spending hours looking through "The tire" books at various shops I see that some of the usual manufactures have stopped offering rear tires for my 2010 Roadster.
My one and only Triumph dealer will only sell me a Metzler...I have gone through a number of those and typically get 6-8k which means one a year....wanting to be ready for the road I was getting ready to buy one when the lovely parts gal mentioned they had gone up in price...they are getting $440.00 dollars for a rear metzler!! (I thought she was quoting me a price for a front and rear) I really don't want to run a CT but boy they don't make it easy to resist. Not asking for advice, just needing to rant a bit. Thanks, I feel better, sort of!!!
