Helmets & Tires
I've got a friend at the Honda dealership insterested in getting rid of some items. They are Scorpion helmets and D208's. If you live in NJ, you can go to his place and they will install them for $350. However, if you just want the tires as a set, they will be $275. If you only want one tire the front is $125 and the rear is $150. PM me if your interested, he's got enough to go around.

RE: Helmets & Tires
I don't mean to steal your ad here... but you can buy them cheaper are Ron Ayers.
Check out the prices... I've been doing the research because I'm replacing mine in spring. I'm almost down to the indicators. But here's the link to the 208s. It will cost me $120.95 to have a 208 180/55ZR17 REAR shipped to my door and a local shop will mount and balance if I take the wheel to them for $30.

RE: Helmets & Tires
Ok.... let's try this. I have Dunlop 208 for $12 installed. Can any of you beat this... come on. I can dream can't I?
Good find on the prices. $120 to $116 isn't much of a savings for me to worry about it. I've dealt with Ron Ayers and can trust them. I've found cheaper tires down in the $90 range, but then you add $35 or $40 in shipping. $120 works for me.
Here's the vaseline part... I asked my local shop about bringing them the bike and having them do everything. Which I hate. I don't trust anyone. Quoted me just under $250 for the rear. I laughed then asked how much if I just bring you the tire and rim. I'm not up to speed on mounting tires that need to be balanced. It's easy to take the wheel off so I'm not worried about doing all of the work, I just need the mounting and balancing to be done for me. I'll look into it when I'm back in OH where I have more friends and hook ups. Down here in VA (station @ naval station norfolk) I'm all alone.

RE: Helmets & Tires
Dude.... wtf did you say to him when he told you he did test wheelies? If you know me.... that would have been a free service call. I would have killed the guy. I took mine in for the first maintenance call so if anything was wrong, they'd see it. I was having a hard time watching an old 5' 2" man ride my bike through the parking lot. And I parked out side the service area door so he only ride it like 20 feet. I waited for it, told them I didn't have a ride so I was going to hang out until it was finished. They were nice and moved my bike up to the next available mechanic. Maybe they weren't being nice.... they just wanted to get me out of their show room. I was test sitting everything making my vroom, vroom noises. Plus.... always carry your helmet on your elbow when you walk into a shop. They freak because too many people do it and bang the hell out of the bikes as they walk by.
I'd love to be able to do all of my own work... I just don't know how to balance the tire.
