On a ride

[rick danger]

Ever consider going dark side on the rear tire ?

Negative. ha ha. I don't even like it when the tire gets squared, like now.

Asheville to home is about 800 miles. Is there anything left on that tire that would allow you to safely stretch it to home ?

Yes, thanks for asking. and for the well wishes. I'm so surprised there were no cords sticking out when I got home. new tires ordered. Been busy. sold a bike today. bought a bike yesterday. lots going on! ha ha.

That is great. Sometimes tires surprise us. Tell all about the sale bike and purchase bike.

Sold my 2022 KTM 1290 SAR. No where near what I wanted. I got $10,500. They wanted to give me $6k for a trade in. I stopped by a BMW dealer in Virginia and they offered me $7k for the rocket for a trade. I laughed and said that's what I have into it in accessories. I bought a 2027 RT 1300. should get it end of the month. I hope its not to much of a let down power wise after the rocket. But I'm afraid it will be. But its got a lot of things I think I might like. like auto trans for those stop and go traffic situations in Boise. ha ha. And just the aerodynamics for high speed riding. and watertight luggage. radar cruise. I skipped half the BRP because I was so worried about the rear tire. So I might go back down and finish it when I get new rubber on. ..The saga continues. ha ha

That is a great choice Rick. So cool you can buy a new one. I'm on the hunt for a 2007 to 2013 1200 RT myself. The handling and wind protection are awesome on these bikes.
