So this Thursday I have to head out for my 10k service. I needed tires, and acquiring a set of Michelin Road pilot 2's has become a debacle. They are back ordered everywhere. Well the dealer located a rear, and I located a front. The problem was on how to get the front to the dealer. Tonight I went to the garage to attempt to secure the tire. It fits perfectly on the passenger peg, up against the cheese grater. Good thing I didn't remove it.  I took the photo before I strapped it down.  | ||

You could have just worn it there, like a hula hoop.  ~SM | ||

haha. I had to buy a handlebar today to replace the one I bent last weekend. The dealer had the one I wanted so I bought it. Walked outside to my bike and figured I could just stick it in my jacket like I do other lil things from time to time. Nope. I went back in and they gave me some zip ties. Tied it to the strap on the seat. | ||

Jamie, have a fun, safe, and probably wet ride to Wenatchee tomorrow. You see that others suggested you wear the tire? But your solution seems better. Keep it under 90... | ||

You see that others suggested you wear the tire? I actually tried that first. There were a few unseen problems. The inside edge of the tire is surprisingly sharp. I figured it would damage my super suit. The other issue came about when I tried to fit my tank bag. I needed the tire to rest on the airbox, the tank bag was in the way. I am hoping the weather clears a little tomorrow. I really don't want to ride all that way in a constant downpour.  |
