Just what I want....a bike sitting in my garage so I can show everyone my new EXCLUSIVE HIGH END bike with EXCLUSIVE HIGH END $1000.00 tires!
I would rather show them a bike like my first Venture, 120,000 mile in 5 years with no problems or the Venture I have now, 50,000 mile in 3 years with no problems.
How can it be called a TOURING bike when you can't do more than 5,000 miles in a single trip? My last trip was 9,000 miles and 1 set of tires and plenty of tread to spare.
