I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.

Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16)

Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you:

Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere
Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel)
C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel

Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too.

WOW...an Eddie Lawson sighting! I used to love watching him, Rainey and Spencer race back in the day.

Also, Kenny Roberts was my neighbor until a few years ago. What a douche bag.

Isle of Man? I still have a video I bought 25 or so years ago somewhere called Onbike TT Experience, it's just full laps by old winners like Phil McCallen and Joey Dunlop and my mates and I watched it over and over. Maybe YouTube has it or something like it but, yeah - balls.

Haven't owned a bike since back then, had a Ducati 900 SS, a Triumph bonneville silver jubilee and Norton commando (not at the same time though). **** japan.
Also Mick Doohan is God.

I've never owned a bike other than a bicycle, but I've wanted an old motorcycle for quite some time. Was considering an old CB or Norton, I love the cafe racer style, but after talking to some guys at work I think I would be better off buying a newer cafe bike. Considering a Triumph Scrambler or Moto Guzzi V7.

Cool thing about the Scrambler, it has the high side pipes similar to the Triumph that Evel Knievel used to jump on in the late 60's the one he crashed at Caesar's palace on.

This is probably my favorite picture I have of my bike. Anybody ride to Arkansas? Great bike trip and just a short shot down 71 from KC.

I loved watching AMA and WSB during the Colin Edwards, Nicky Hayden, Troy Bayliss (probably my favorite ), eras . I can't stand Ben Spies for some reason.

don't buy one of these -- too expensive

1979 Honda CBX FTW.

Straight Six, 1050CC. Six cylinders, six carbs, 8200 redline, zero to 100 and back again in less than 10 seconds. Unmistakable engine note, like a Ferrari V12.
