She’s fantastic. Puts these funky goggles with cameras In them on you, she can see on a monitor, your eyes do grazy things when she rolls your head a certain way. This tells her where the crystals in your inner ear are, and she knows just how to get them back where they belong. First when my friend explained it to me it sounded like some kind of voodoo. It’s not. Hope you get straightened out.
Time will tell.
If this truly is an environmental allergy, I'm going to need to find a different environment before next spring.2005 Suzuki Hayabusa

I’m not familiar with what you’re describing as being environmental allergy related, but rather a physical Dislocation of the calcium crystals in the inner ear that play a major role in balance. I’m not a doctor or physical therapist. But heres something you could try. The source is Johns Hopkins, so not like it’s a WebMD article.

Very interesting rear tire you've got there Jedz.

The R1200GS is a damn interesting bike to ride... Quick nimble but just too refined for my tastes. I'm glad to see you liking the R1150GS Eli! Hope to see it in the flesh one of these days...

After wearing out 2 front tires I too off the rear car tire - gave it to a fella I know -- he put another 20,000 on it.
It works -- just didn't like the feeling -- for me --

Why explicitly said I won't recommend it...
Your risk assessment and preference.
However I was impressed for I thought it would handle allot worse than it does.

The upside to a bike tire wearing out in 5000-8000 miles is that the bearings, races, chain, sprockets, etc all get inspected every 5-8K miles during the tire change. With a car tire lasting 10x that long, there's a very good chance that regular inspection items will be ignored with possible life-threatening consequences down the road.
Having said that, I look forward to the mile-long rolling burnout video, Justin.2005 Suzuki Hayabusa

Very Addictive...
