Tire Cracks (March 26, 2012)

It’s always a little disheartening when you go to get on the bike & are looking it over to see if some motorcycle gnome has come for a part in the night & you realize, man those tires sure are cracked.  Noted this morning that both tires have more cracking in them than I feel comfortable when riding if I know they’re there.  And I know.  Had to a) put on the center stand, b) jack up the front of the bike, c) drop tires off at a place that will do motorcycle tires & then d) wait for them to be ready.

Found out the front tire’s slow leak was due to a previous owner putting an inner tube into a tubeless tire.  Fixed that.  Tire on front was manufactured back in 2006 and the tire on the back was manufactured in 2005.
