Another friend and I on Thursday took weekend ride up to Petsokey MI for another friends son graduation party. Owner of this shop http://www.highlandtrails.net/ he rides an interstate. Stopped in to greet him went  back to see what he was working on, had a F6B on the lift and rim on tire machine and was mounting a 85% wore out and choppy tire on the rim. I said Wow what is with that he explained that they where from Ohio original rear tire was gone and need something to get them back home and this was all he had no new tire in stock. I said why don't you put on a car tire on.  He snapped around and looked at me like I was from another planet. I knew from his look to drop that conversation. I went out front and meet the owner and his friend riding gold wing. The gold wing rider is looking to to get a interstate and both where looking at my bike then asked me about my car tire. I told them it was about 4 years old and love it (GYTT 17,000 miles) they made the comment that it looked brand new. I wished them luck on there ride home as they left. I just felt even new to darkside would of been better than that wore out motorcycle tire. Hope they made it alright!!!

As you know, there is a lot of opinions on this subject, but I'll never regret crossing over to the Dark Side.  I just have 3700 miles on the CT.  Now I just have to find one of those Darth Vader helmets...
