Enjoy those great riding roads up in Connecticut, I'm up there quite often during riding season. A short (depending on traffic) ride for me over the Bridge...

But I face a 20-30 minute ride to get to them in the first place. I stay off the interstates anyways.

Anyone try the Bridgestone H50 tires on their bagger yet? https://youtu.be/mBod8ktmJvQ
I have had them on my RGS for about 10k miles. I like them a lot. The handling is surpurb. Except, at that mileage, the front starts to be noisy in curves, and will need to be replaced before the rear. My next set will be Michelin, even though they are way more expensive. I saw a review from an English expert that lists the Michelin #1 and Bridgestone #2. I went with Bridgestone due to cost savings.

In my case. The indie who ultimately installed the tires. Had a hand in the exhumation of said thread. Seeing the h50s are a stocked item and me trying to learn more of the tires in general.

I absolutely loved the American elites I had, but when the rear started to crack with less than 5k,I decided to go replace it with a Bridgestone. The ride, handling, and durability all seem very good - better than most.. The only downside is that when it rains, I feel like I am on skates. Even light applications of the rear brakes send the ABS into a hissy fit.
