Tire Options for our CB1100

[jimgl3_imp]

Imma tell yall a little story. been passin by this bike place for years, eyeballin a really old honda hurricane thinking... uh nah... then one day a pal of mine shows up on it. it had been sitting for years. it was obvious he hadn't put tires on it. I wanted to say something, because I had a spirited ride in mind on a really good road, but chose not to offend. I kept looking back the whole ride thinking any time now its coming. but it never did. half bald, dry rotted tires by any measure, and they did just fine. now, it was warm and dry out. I don't think they would have done the same in damp or cold. Not sayin it's wise, it's not. But I'm not sure I would pass up a good deal on a tire that's been sitting on a shelf in a climate controlled warehouse for use on the street. Here I go again... the street's not a racetrack... when I am forced by the rules to retire a race lid, I continue to use it on the street several more years. (similar idea)
