Ty's a rocket ridin son of a gun ain't he?
I'd sure like to see his bike in person.
Heck, I'd just like to meet him..
Seems like a real good guy in the e-mail exchanges I've had with him.
As far as puttin your mind at ease..
I won't be going back to a MC tire on mine.
I like the fact it handles great in the water,
no more worrying about hydroplaning period.
It does take a little time to get use to it, but well worth it in my mind.
Cost, plus longevity really ain't the factor or concern.
Ease of mind and handling is.
I test rode the thunderbird yesterday.
Nice little bike.
After becoming accustomed to the Raptor and riding nearly everyday to work and around, the thunderbird handled like a foreign object, I could throw it around like it weighed a couple of pounds.
Also had to ride the hd yesterday as after the test ride, LeAnn (wife) wanted to try the Rocket out, which put me on another foreign object.
thats coming from a guy that rode hd's exclusivly most of my life..
