So, i've been deployed for the last 10 months and i'll be home in about another month or so and my bike hasnt moved an inch since i came over here. It's in a storage facility and i made sure it had proper tire pressure before i left. Just wondering if there will be a flat spot on the tires so i can go ahead and buy a new set now if so. I know my battery is dead as a rock cause, like my stupid self, i forgot to disconnect it before i left, but that's no biggy, easy to get another one.

I honestly wouldn't worry about 10 months. If the tires have remain inflated you should be fine.

Welcome back.

id try to charge it as a spare and no dont worry bout the tires. Mine sat for 8 or so months while i was in Iraq with no issues. If you go after market on the battery be careful just cuz it fits the hole doesnt mea the terminals will be right...

sweet, glad i wont have to get new tires put on. only have about 3,000 on the originals and still probably have about 3-4000 more miles left on them and i dont want to waste that much tire.

Junior - head out towards Julian.
Used to be an EXCELLENT campground out there, Black Canyon IIRC, 30 years ago...
