My Battlax front tire was on it's last legs and had me quite concerned. I needed new tires; especially the front. But I can't afford a new set of Road Pilot tires I want.
My son is the lead Tech at a Yamaha/Suzuki dealer. Today his manager and I scrounged around in the back room, where they store take-off items, parts bikes, overstock, etc. It seemed like all they had were 17" sportbike or dirt knobbies tires.
When, lo and behold, we found a new-old-stock Battlax front tire for my DLX. The manager sold it to me for 1/2 the new price and installed it. I'll put on a new set of Road Pilots later when I can afford it.
It truly is remarkable how things work out perfectly sometimes.
