I am going to need a new set of tires soon for the 620. Anyone have any experience with buying/mounting in the area?
I was looking at them today. They look fine, but they were made in '02, so it's time for a new set.

Jeff...I know that cycle gear on Little Creek is always running a sale. Last summer they had buy one diablo get the second free. The manager rides a 748 and is pretty cool. I think her name is Kat and she should be able to at least point you in the right direction.

Thanks, Kris, I'll give 'em a try. You coming out to the mountains with us in May?

That Dainese suit came in today. A little tight in the crotch, but otherwise it fits pretty good. I look like I just stepped out of my UFO, but they can't say they didn't see me!

Very nice Jeff!!! Don't get excited in that think...it could get a little cramped!!! I'm not sure I will be coming in May but I will have to see. I still have to have the clutch replaced in the STi and Dawn is steadily trying to add more crap to the new house  [bang].

When my wife took the picture, she asked me if it came with a cape and a membership in the comic book superheroes club!

I bought a pair of Pilot Powers at Cycle Gear.  They had the best price around, equal or cheaper than internet+shipping.  They will mount and balance them for $25 per tire if you bring the tires/rims in.  That is also the best deal I could find.  That being said, I just mounted my own by hand.  It took a bit because I had never done it before but technically not really that difficult.  Used dynabeads to balance them with no issues so far (12omph  [roll] )

Jeff, is that a lightning bolt on your chest?  Between you in that thing and me in my Power Ranger suit, I don't think anyone will mess with us.

FYI - DO NOT run a half marathon on sunday and ride 400 + miles on monday.  I know you all are smart enough not to do this but I am not.  Work gave me all day to travel to DC and I took all of it.  Back roads the whole way except 45 miles on 66E.  Took the standard Poe's route to richmnond, west out of richmond out to skyline drive, 105 miles on skyline drive into Front Royal then into DC.  Good ride, but I'm hurting.  I think the only thing that can fix this is a trip to the hotel bar.

Dave, I prescribe a tall Knob creek over ice, and a half hour in a hot jacuzzi.

Dual Spark, I think 1k monsters and 1k multi's had them.  They need a special belt tension measuring device that is based off of frequency when plucked.  But don't quote me.

Hmmm that would make a good bike for my wife.  The problem is that she doesn't ride.  I would get stuck riding it ;)
