Re: [emrat:13762] Weather change means time to swap out the summer air from the tires

Not sure which tires to recommend, but Performance and other places will mount and balance tires as long as you bring the wheels to them. They might have an answer about the sensors, but seems like that may be a dealership question. On Thu, Sep 22, 2022 at 2:33 PM Jim Kerick <jim.kerick@gmail.com> wrote:Heavy bike?It isn't fat, just big framed.Now the debate is wait till spring and deal with the tires till then,...

Concur with this.  I just put a set of Road 6 GT's on my R1200RT.  I "discovered" Michelin Pilot Road GT's when I had my R1150R and they are now my go-to tire.  Jim, I think for a heavy bike like your Trophy the Road 6 GT would be a good tire.  Mine did great on the South Dakota trip which included everything from chilly temps (frost on my seat every morning) to 95 degrees going across Nebraska.  On...

[emrat:13757] Weather change means time to swap out the summer air from the tires

Hey,So I had to go down east of the Springs for work again today. Schriever Space Force Base is about a 115+ mile haul for me from Thornton and not close to much of anything.I got on the Trophy at 5:15, stopped for gas and noted the tire pressures showing were about 3 lbs less than when I checked them a week ago. I thought, okay, borderline, these will heat up as I ride.Well they weren't heating up well. The sun still was down,...

Martin; I plan on doing the same as the Wendls, so I will not be at the RMRAT meeting.  I will be driving my truck, as I need to take my walking stick and am not quite up to riding yet. Capt Bob/Denise; what time will you be at Franktown/Elizabeth?  I'd like to meet you and follow to the Rambler Ranch.  I agree on Takota. Finally, I have 20 free admission passes...

Martin,Denise and I plan on going with the group to the Rambler Ranch. With it only being a few miles a way we're planning meeting you in Franktown or Elizabeth.For lunch, I recommend the Takoda Tavern on South Parker road. They have good food and are motorcycle friendly.

I won't be able to make it; taking out-of-town guests to RMNP that day.  In better news, I have my wheel back; the Bonneville should be back on the road later today. Enjoy the ranch; if you've never seen it is something else; a testimony to rich people not being crazy, just eccentric ;) Cheers,JimOn Tue, Sep 20, 2022 at 12:22 PM Martin Richard <martinarmy1961@gmail.com> wrote:The monthly RMRAT meeting is this...

Re: [emrat:13744] Bike Festival this Weekend in St. Francis, Kansas

That museum is a lot of fun; it's basically two guys who decided they wanted a place to put their collections.  A ton of 1900-1920 bikes, and a lot of 80s Hondas, as I recall, as well as a literal vault where they have a couple of true unicorns.  The festival sounds fun.  Cheers,JimOn Thu, Sep 15, 2022 at 10:00 AM DAN PILCHER <danpilcher@comcast.net> wrote: In case you are at...

Re: [emrat:13742] 2022 Moto Guzzi V100

Forget Steve, I WANT ONE! Thinking about replacing my Trophy with it. I had a '96 California 1100i, and really liked it. If I had traded it in for anything except my '01 Duc ST2 I would have really regretted the decision to get rid of it. -JimOn Wed, Sep 14, 2022 at 1:17 PM WAYNE EVERMAN <weverman@comcast.net> wrote: ...
