Thank you Karen. Tire ordered, still deciding on the rear one. Time for new helmet, 12 years old, I got my use out of it, or maybe just another coat of Krylon ultra flat black.
12 years, it's about maxed out its life due to UV rays etc.
More safety lights is not a bad idea/investment.
I don't buy the 5-10 year old helmets needing replacing so often. I can see 15-20 years, but not much before then unless damaged or left out in the sun/elements/weather often. I seem to replace my faceshield once every 5 years or less though since I either drop it scratching it or just is not as clear as when new.
