Tires
I like my dealership. I'm told by my dealership guy that my front tire's in the 'Red' as for wear. I ask, "Can I go to Mesa Verde, Colorado and back?" I'm in Alb. NM. He restates that according to Harley it is in the 'Red'. Means that I'm at 1/16 of the tread. How longer can you really go until it's really a concern?

How often do you ride in the rain? Less tread depth removes less water= serious danger!

Getting that last little bit of wear out of a tire doesn't make sense in most cases.

Those tires are your only connection to the road. In a cage, if one blows you sometimes loose control and crash, and that's with three other good tires helping. Think what happens if you blow a tire on your bike; kiss your butt goodby. Change it.
