    Putting new shoes on the hotrod is always an enjoyable experience for me.

    Wish I could get mileage like that outta my tires. I usually end up only getting 5k out of a set, no matter what kind of riding or what kind of tires I have.

    Um, 10K? I've been on Conti Road Attacks, which are a dual compound tire and most I ever got out of them was 7K. So what's your secret? Do you just put the bike on a centerstand and let it rip?

    LOL.

    Don't really have a secret, and I don't baby the bike either. If anything I run the air pressure a little high most of the time. The funny thing is the front had lots of wear still, however the center of the rear was bordering unsafe. Zero tread left.
