March was a difficult month to get out much on the CB1100. Did a 6 day trip on the DR650, early March lots of rain, and then family visiting. But the rear tire was in bad shape, so I finally had the time today. Replaced the worn Shinko sr741; cheap, but it only lasted 5k miles and had to push it a bit to get that out of it

I don't mind if the bike gets dirty due to wet forest roads, but I hate working on dirty bikes, so I gave it a good wash before starting in with Rabaconda tire change #5. Had to rewatch videos because I couldn't remember the details, but once I got going, things went smoothly.
