I put 10k on it but it was on the bike when I bought it. I checked it 4K ago when I changed fluids and figured I could get another 5k...didn't happen. I replaced it with a Michelin commander so we'll see.

The guy at the shop said they were getting close to 25k out of them on their rentals...at $160 I hope I get more than 15. I might just go dark side next.

Just didn't have the coin at the time, plus that thing went from bad to worse pretty damn quick it's hard to see the fatboy tire without making an effort but I learned a lesson to check more often.

Besides if you hold the stupid spectrum up against my life this actually ranks pretty low...😅
