While waiting for a tire installation...

Well, I used to say that, until someone who knows, really knows, explained that the bald tire has more traction. And from where @Tbirdgirl hails, my guess is she has it all under control, and while y'all mean well, it's her bike and wallet.

Anyway, good story, and I know there are more from where that came - hint hint.

Cool story...
While visiting @smokit2 in Colorado, I realized I wasn't going to make it home on my front tire. Ordered up a nice 140 Avon Cobra and rode over to Grand Junction on the way home to have it installed. A 60-ish guy on a Harley came in to have tires done also, and we chatted while waiting.

He asked me what I was riding, and when I told him, he pointed out a trade-in Electra-FLXTYDRWQMLP-something or other. I just said, "No", and he was genuinely surprised. Ok, it had a pretty blue and silver paint job, but I told him there is no bike after the Rocket.

When my tire was done, he came out to look at the bike and I think it was then when he realized just what I was talking about. "2300 ccs, really?" I said, "I told you there was no upgrading from this". The look on his face was priceless.
