TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge part XIV.
Idk it’s a lot but if I tried home insurance than that price goes up and stays up. At least this is a three year fix minimal so a hunnert a year ain’t that bad paid up front of course. That’s how I’m telling it to my brain anyways
is that what they call them these days??
He did. He agreed with Bob.
That's actually not a bad way of looking at it.
Only the cool kids.

Good luck with that rear tire on a manual changer. It's been done many times, but better you than me....
I've seen tires stamped with 2012, but it was NOT the date code. Date code on motorcycle tires always follows DOT, and it will be circled, in a box or window, as in the pic. First 2 numbers are week of production, second set of numbers are the year. So that tire was built between Aug 27 - Sept 2nd, 2007

The rear tire was easy. I channeled Archimedes and had the old one off in no time. The Cycle Hill tools really work well. The new tire was even easier. Lots of lube and a she went right on. I will say, one of the best sounds a person can hear is the "POP!" of the bead seating. Honestly, the hardest part was removing the rear tire which is a first. I haven't had it off this bike since I bought it last summer. **** was monkey tight and I didn't have the right wrenches to get the axle nut off. My Street Glide had enough clearance to use a 36mm socket. Not this one. And the muffler is damn near welded on (with rust and carbon is my guess) so removing that wasn't an option I wished to pursue. I picked up a big open end and that did the trick.

Oh, and did the Ride On. No issues. Took her for a 5 mile ride just to make sure everything is ok. No vibration at all. I'm sold.
I was considering the Santoro engine guard too but decided against it. But considering how much you hate the bag guards, I may revisit the idea.
what is this ride on you speak of?
