@warp9.9 told me I would be on cords by the time I got home from West Virginia. He was off by about 20 miles.

Been there, done that. My steel showing was at least twice as wide.

Hmm... stay on the twists and off the straights aways. You'll be fine.

Not sure the clock reads 15,500. But I have only put about 8000 on the bike. Its the tire that was on when I bought it. I thought the guy said it was newer but .....

8000 is a lot of miles, at least on a Touring, even from new

The original Metz on my 08 looked like that top picture.
I cannot remember the mileage, but I noticed it after a long ride.
Went to Avon Cobra, then something else.
