New rubber!

Guess what came home this weekend!?!?!?


Just stuck the rim under the fender for a test-fit/pic.



Pirelli Sport Demons!

New tubes, new rubber, and they're going to have to sit for another year. Any suggestions on storage for them? Should I keep the weight off them and leave the bike on the stand that I have it on? I can't imagine 1 season of sitting being detrimental for the tires but figure that I might as well ask.

If the tires are going to have weight on them, at least put some cardboard under them or a thick piece of rug, something somewhat softer and at least so there is no direct contact with the concrete floor, now if it's on a center stand then you should have no issues as there should be no contact of tires to ground....

Yaa, unforch...I don't have a center stand. So I will work something out. I'll place something under them.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm still alive. Just working on the boat now that it's summer.

Special request from the wife because the whole family can use the boat this summer, whereas I can only enjoy a motorcycle on my own.

I'll probably start posting again around ....September/October sometime if I don't post pictures of my new-used garage before then at that new-used place.
