New tires....
 
dont ya just love the way your bike feels with a new set of tires

Yep! I have a new set of tires just waiting to be put on! :D

(need new job first...)

thing is we put motorcycle tires on at my work, but its still cheaper for me to have someone else do it.....that blows, my boss will let me change them there for $12 each, but my buddy that owns his own bike shop only charges $10, he's even picking them up at my job and bringing them back to me, cant beat that, and its not just cause we're friends, he charges everybody $10 a tire

Wait... you would get charged to do the work yourself?? How does that work?

And I don't always love the feel of new tires. The new PP's were WAY too twitchy for the street on my 1125. After about 500 miles of highway driving/commuting, they were much better.
Loved the feel of my Corsa III's... just wish I could get more than 3K out of a set...

Gotta love having to pay your boss for "YOUR TIME!" (insert rolley eyes here) Isn't there some way that you could do them on your lunch break or something?? Seems shitty to me.

dont wanna even bother asking , would rather just give our buddy $20 anyway

I understand 100% ;) I probably wouldn't get mine for free, but I help out and on occassion, do them myself. :D I try to help him out on the weekends when he needs it and do other things too. I guess I kind of pay for it, but in the long run.......what are friends for? :)

Your boss sucks.



And I think I might go back to Pilot Powers when the DC III's wear out.
