Yep, I think my tires will make the trip. I'll probably do an oil change next week and rebleed all of my lines.

well, my ride is in the capable hands of Mr. McCarter.... but the tires i think will stay on for the trip. they have nothing but tread on the outside... and i see some changes happening when i get back from HC.... i'll have to learn how to do a burnout when i get back from HC...i've never attempted one before.

Ah burnouts, fun stuff. Compress the forks and keep the front break on should break the rear loose and bring the smoke. I did a gnarly burnout with 620 before I swapped tires/chain/sprockets. I don't think the neighbors like me much after that

chain cleaned and waxed--yet to do
oil, filter change--check
tire condition--check
other fluids--check
various tools, CO2/plugs, and gadgets--check

You'll want to pack a pair of shorts or something b.c it could be quite muggy out there. Done forget about the pool at KR too

I'll be bring my slime air compressor, it runs off of my battery tender connection. Plugs are a good idea, the slime gunks up your wheel

Scott, honestly, have you ever known anyone on this board to pick on, dog-pile, taunt, or otherwise harrass another poster to this lovely little corner of the internet we call home? I mean we're above that
