Michelin Commander II on my Road King. About 16,500 miles.

I don't know how I missed this. But the good news is that I made it to the shop to get a new set put on immediately.

I was getting a speeding ticket on my Buell one time, sitting in the State Trooper's cruiser I could see the cords. Thankfully he didn't.

Sounds like my sons bike. Doesnt check his oil on his dyna until he brings it to me asking me to look at his motor when its making making clattering noise. And its 2-1/2 qts low or the big *** groove in the raer tire from not adjusting his shocks when riding 2 up
