RedRider Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share #26 Posted July 6, 2008 Yeah, that was my thought also. No one in town (Erie, PA) that is open on Sunday has a properly sized car tire. So, we decided to stay overnight and get a tire in the morning when the local Yamaha dealer opens (at 9:00). Interestingly enough, I didn't notice the lighter spots of rubber until I looked at the picture before posting it. That would have been real trouble running the highway and it would take me 2 days to get home if I kept the speeds way down anyway. I did find a place 110 miles away that was open, but am not going to ride that far with this tire. BTW - I never did let you know - the Harley brake lights look and work great.

BradT Posted July 7, 2008 Share #27 Posted July 7, 2008 Glad you decided to stay put that does not look good. I have a old Brigstone here that I got from a member when I picked up a bad split. BUT I am too far a away, hope you make it home safely for that meeting. BRad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share #28 Posted July 8, 2008 Made it home last night. The dealer in Erie (Off-Road Express) was exceptional!!! I will be making a complete post singing the praises of this dealership. Just a quick teaser - They opened at 9:00. Had my bike on the lift by 9:15 and in the parking lot by 10:05. New Dunlop 404, installed, $160!!! I should have had them put a front on also for that price. Technician took it for a quick test ride and suggested a couple of other things that needed done. Didn't pressure to do them - thru conversation he knew I did my own wrenching. But spent the time to show me things and how to properly do them - such as my steering head bearing is loose. Great guys. Just wish they were closer. Like I said, there will be a complete write up on this dealer. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Terror Posted July 8, 2008 Share #31 Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) Glad you were able to get a proper MC tire on there and had a great experience with the dealer. That now a days its often rare. Enjoy the trip! Edited July 8, 2008 by Tartan Terror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
