Well, it looks like I have a problem. I need a new rear tire somewhere along the Blue Ridge Parkway North of Asheville, NC.

Anyone have any suggestions for where to find one? I don't think what i have will get me back to NJ. O don't know any shops so I'm looking for experiences or suggestions.

Thanks,
ac

Charlotte looks to be a good ways off course. I was hoping to find a Cycle Gear, but I just don't see one on course.

RT,
That sounds great. We are actually only 3 miles from MR right now. I'll swing by there on the morning. How bad are they gonna kill me for the swap?

I got one last year in Bristol, VA. Good price on a Conti Motion. Decent tire, got me home on the BRP with no issues till I could get a 'proper' D616 : )

So wound up going to MR for the tires, but they won't work on a brand they don't sell. They called their sister store, Asheville HD and they refused to work on it too!

I wound up loading the tires onto the bike and going to Myers Ducati/Triumph and they did the install.

Thanks for all the help!

Wow, that is just poor business, imo

Help a guy out on the road. You have mechanics, or monkeys??
