    radials would an improvment but sizes for 1st gen wheels are hard if not imposible to find . but todays bias plys have close radial feel and handling like dunlop e3s ect, put an set of e3s or the like . im sure you will find a smile on your face in both price and performance .

    there is no good reason for it . its mostly a cry for attn. if you will take notice next time it is the bikers with the loud pipes that do it for the most part! they seem to think everyone wants to hear there pipes up close and personal. the onley time its helpful is on a down shiftto make a smoother down down shift. the rest of the time its just more wear and tear and heat buildup on the engine.and just a pissoff to those who know it isnt needed.

    on july 5th 2002 at approximately 11:10 am while heading south on hiway 93 coming home from a ride on the venture. a beautifulsunny day was cut short by few seconds of violence. a deer made a single leap in front of my bike at 65 mph . the front wheel hit right behind the front shoulders all most dead center. i was banking in a right hand curve . she shot from my right hand side to my left throwing the bike over the right side and down . catapultingme in an arc over the side and landing on my right side in the middle of hiway 93 in the right lane, the bike sild into the opposite lane on the edge of the road. when i stopped bouncing and sliding i rolled over on my hands and knees and realized i could not breathe, no air was going in and no air was coming out. i hunched my back up and desperatly tried to breathe. at that point i thought i was dead or going to be very soon . then somthing popped and i got part of a gulp of air and an overwhelming rush of pain. i then rolled over on my back in the center of the south bound lane took off my helmet and gloves and began the trial of survival. it seemed like only seconds passed when an angel in black ( biker girl ) oh ya i said black . leather helmet gloves pants boots the works approached my left side and spoke to me asking somthing about my wellbeing. i dont know what i said but i understand she was responsible for calling 911 and getting help coming. more people started showing up . chip trucks and cars going by. i just wanted to wake up and find my self in bed having a nightmare . no such luck to day! i remember hearing the siren from the ambulance coming in the background and having the sound of help coming.the angel in black stood in the sun shielding me from the heat and sun in my eyes and said to me this is my job! then the ambulance crew went about checking me out and preping me for transport to promptcare .xrays showed 3 broken ribs a punctured and collapsed lung numerous heavy bruises and a whole lot of other stuff i wont bother whinning about here once stabalized and prepped with chest tube and pain killer i was life flighted to kalispell regional med center emergency room , i spent 5 days in hospital one and a half of those in icu. one last thing to all my bike riding brothers and sisters where ever you are in the past weeks while recuping i have been sitting in the park counting the riders who dont wear the leather or helmets or any safety gear at all . tank tops teashirts shorts and sandals wont work when called upon for protection. YOU WILL NOT BE THE ONE TO SAY WHEN THAT MOMENT HAS ARRIVED. SO I SAY TO YOU THE RIDER WHO WANTS TO LIVE TO RIDE RIDE TO LIVE ! BE PREPARED! THESE THREE THINGS I SAY TO YOU ALSO !! WEAR THE GEAR ..WEAR THE GEAR .. WEAR THE DAM GEAR. I CAN SAY THAT BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD THERE GO I . AND THAT THE HELMET SAVED MY LIFE AND MY FACE . THE LEATHER KEPT ME FROM TURNING INTO HAMBURGER ON THE NO. 1 GRIT SAND PAPER WE CALL HIWAY 93 .TO THE LADY BIKER I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO YOU FACE TO FACE BUT I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE . SO THANKS SO MUCH !!!! HAPPY TO BE A LIVING MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE AND STILL RIDING . SINCERLY STEVE.
