...and on my third front and fourth rear tire!

Just an FYI, I saved $59.00 ordering the tires through BikeBandit and they shipped to my door from California in just two days! The dealer usually can't get them in less than four. And the service center had no qualms about installing them even though I didn't buy them there.

Is that a go kart in the background?

BTW, I can hear your bike crying through that picture.

Yes it is, good eye! My best friend and his little brother got that in elementary school. When we first started riding it, we had to tape blocks of wood to the petals so we could reach 'em. Now I can't even sit on the thing! I saw it sitting unused at my friend's parents' house, and they said I could have it. I gave the seized engine to my neighbor so he could fix his kids' cart, but I have plans to put a 9HP Subaru engine on it for my kids. I'm also going to stretch the frame six to eight inches and make an adjustable seat for it. It'll be cool having them ride something from my youth.

Yeah, like a dog tied to a tree! Thanks to the dealership up the street, however, the bike was only in that state for about two hours. Fastest no-appointment tire change ever!
