Dinner company rescheduled but stayed busy none the less. Damn, so glad I am going into the office tomorrow. Thoughts and prayers for my Florida peeps are appreciated. My sister, BIL and nephew did not evacuate from their Atlantic Beach home.

They could be in a world of trouble if there really is a 7-11' storm surge living right near a marsh

With the 880 I couldn't even get to 5k. About 10k on the MCII'S. But yea I'd try the 888. Supposed to have a good dual compound.
If my records are correct, I have about 15,000 on the rear MCII that's on it now. But I might give the 888 a try.

They are...damn, Greg....not even sure what their reasoning is. They will blame it on having to work a half day today but they could have gotten out after that but they alreayd had their minds made up no to go by then.


OK, for sure this time....going to bed

Greg you may recall I put the 888s on my bike. I like them, but then again I thought the American Elites were OK as well. The 888s seem to be a little softer compound but I haven't noticed any unusual wear.

Yes I have to go down early, 2 hour drive, fasting, for blood work. Appointments all day.
