Warm enough to ride here this morning, but a little windy.

I need a new rear tire, the Michelin on there right now cupped really bad, only got about 8,000 miles out of it, any suggestions on a replacement? Place to put gas cap? Do I need a cup holder? What kind of oil?

That is what I’m running right now. Like them so far. I ran 2 sets of MC IIs and while I liked them, the front cupped on both. Got 15,000 out of the back, though. I don’t think the 888 is quite as sticky in the curves as the MC II.

Morning woods, I run Avon cobras, not high mileage but they are consistent, no surprises with them, good traction and 7-8k out of a rear.

Morning Woods!
