Almost forgot!
Back from Texas last Wednesday. Bike and tires did great. Tomorrow I'll check my records and give you numbers on mileage. Just under 3600 total on trip. And I'll have to admit I'm challenged on posting pictures. Old fart syndrome I guess. Off top of my head I've 12K+ on the front and around 10K on the rear. The front looks amazingly near new. I think I've a few thousand left on the rear and I kinda squared it off a bit. 80mph for many days! Shoot me an email and I'll take the pics and send them to you. If you'd like to post them that'd be fine. wayne dot bowyer at gmail dot com

Thanks for the pictures TW. Looks like the normal square off, at 10,000 miles better than most the tires I've had on my 1150. If my summer ride is going to include going North to Alaska I'll be using these.
