With Duffy and I heading over to the IOM in late May, decided to replace the rear tire now. With hindsight being 20-20 should have also replaced the front but will do that in a couple of weeks. Not going to have a lot of time for bike maintenance when I get back, home for 2 days and then on the road to Taos.
Don't forget the old rider proverb.
"No maintenance the week before a ride!"
