A bad map and a long ride in Northern New Mexico!

Jacksboro, TX

« on: August 25, 2010, 08:11:04 PM »

I took advantage of the cooler weather this evening and finished cleaning the bike.  My cousin in Fritch, TX is heading up a biker benefit this weekend for their local fire department, which has turned into a yearly thing.  Figured I will head up and help out...besides it gets me out of the house on the bike.

Noticed while I was cleaning, that I will be replacing the rear Avon soon.  Haven't decided which way I am going.  I have done the darkside thing on the other Valk when I lived in the Carolinas.  May do that again, hell the roads are straighter here and I didn't have problems before.  Cool 

Been running Avon Venoms with a lot of success, wondering how the Cobra is doing?  Any thoughts?
I only average about 6k miles on a rear tire.  Which is ok too, it forces me to inspect and clean the rear end that way.

Anyway, if you see a red and black I/S on 287 Friday heading north.. wave.. it might be me!!  I will be the fat guy on the fat lady with my wife holding on for dear life behind me!!  And if you are in the Panhandle come on out to Fritch Saturday morning.  Poker run, then all day get together with band(s) that evening from the area.  I always have a good time!!   Roll Eyes

For what it is worth.

I just replaced both tires on my I/S in past week.

Goodyear Triple Tread got 35,988 miles.  The front was an Avon Cobra and it had 22,114 miles on it.  Almost on the wear bars but not quite.  Just figured was time to replace before another run up to Tennessee.  Excellent mileage on the Cobra I think.

I will probably go with the Goodyear Triple Tread.  That is what I ran back in 04, and would like to be able to run it long enough to wear the tread off of it!   Will have to decide soon, probalby when I get back from this weekend.
