i dont think i would take off on a ride to the grocery store with a cracking front tire..... replace this tire and enjoy the ride!

+1 What Frank said.  Isn't it nice to leave on a long tour with a fresh set of scrubbed in tires?  Easy on the mind? Relaxing?

I dislike leaving on a long trip, if I have to worry about something on the bike I should have done but did not.  I have more fun not worrying.

Maybe it's just me.  Prolly is...

Oh yea, where's Deano?  Don't leave home without your baby diaper wipes. The ones with Aloe lotion on them. It's the secret to keep monkey butt at bay.

Thanks Dean!

I take offense to that Monkey Butt comment!!! But I can say that longer rides tend to have taxing effects to ones delicate back side....

nothing worse than running out of rubber in the middle of a nice tour when you didnt have to.

Tires are cheap compared to replacing the motorcycle, an extended hospital stay and or losing one's life.

No one can guarrantee this wont happen anyway but if you can help your odds by putting some new rubber on i would say it would be worth it.

I cant begin to tell you how many guys i have seen need to replace tires at a rally... myself included.

thinking you have plenty of rubber is a classic mistake.... in reality a tire wears like this....

300 miles it looks new

1500 miles it still looks new

  2500 miles it looks about half gone and i think this tire should be good for at least another 2000 miles

300 miles later threads are showing   

the kookaloo is hell on some tires

Mark, Mark, Mark, I meant no disrespect  although the term "monkey butt" has been around longer than we have been riding motorcycles.

Did you notice that I specifically stayed away from mentioning footwear.....?

Don't forget to pack a plastic bag, to catch any smoke that escapes from your wiring.

[craigo]

FJmonkey, what's blinker fluid?

You will find it on the shelf right next to the muffler bearings.

Blinker Fluid

Muffler Bearings

[craigo]

Damn, all sold out of blinker fluid.  And I needed some, anyone got any on the shelf that they don't need.

You might have gone after the footwear if Monkey Boot/Foot was not such an awkward phrase. Monkey Butt has a much nicer ring to it.
