Weird thats for sure.

I replace my rear tire every year because I can't get it too hook up when I dump the clutch. Aircraft tires would cost me a lot of dough thats for sure.

last week somene posted an ebay link where a guy was selling a wing for the tourpack of an ultra.

if the guy running the airplane tires picks that up, too, he can be cleared for liftoff by the 6 year old who was controlling air traffic in NYC a couple of months ago.

Guys I just ran out and found some really skinny steam rollers and fitted them to my bike. Holy S++T! they will last forever. The lean angle is a bit harder and they tend to not hook up on hole shots, but man the do last and also my my limestone driveway has never been this flat LOL!
