Default Hoooo-Lee S***...Tyres!

So...first ride on the new tyres today and holy cow! These tyres took 200 pounds off this bike without any loss of stability. That's really about the best way to describe it. Very very nimble and responsive. Significant improvement. If you still have floor boards on your Slim, you probably won't like these tyres. Boards would be more of a nuisance than they were anyways. All you want to do now is throw this thing in a curve.

Ohhh...TIRES. I was wondering what a tyre was. I can see spellcheck doesn't like it.

That's because when written in English, tyre is correct...but thanks for the lesson none the less.

I appreciate that lesson very much thank you, but even in your supplied link it says that it is tire in North America, and last I checked St Louis was in North America. I may be wrong.

Really I am just busting your *****. I liked the mod either way you spell it.
