Default Did it!

FINALLY got around to ordering new tires for the 1100. After, uh having both of them squared off a bit and being 3+ years old . . . D'OH!

Also have brake pads on order for the 750. Late braking on the street due to the non-grip from glazed pads that I burned up on the track isn't really too fun.



I really know better . . .

Michelin Pilot Roads. No racing, just street time for this bike. There isn't a whole lot out there for 18-inch wheels anymore, but the Michelins are decent. Looked at receipts for my tires. Front was bought in 07/2002, rear in Dec 2002. Also installed a brand new battery in the 1100.

EBC HHs for the brakes.

New paws plus a solid cleaning of the front/rear wheels/rotors/calipers etc.

Will try and take her out later today for a quick romp.
