who can guess what bob will be riding to Orifino ?

let's see if anyone can guess what I will be riding into Orofino. on each day this
week I will give a new hint to help.no prizes for winning and one of you is not
eligible to play.[you know who you are].

first hint-- I just installed new tires today.they were brigestone T30 radials.

Michelin Pilot Road 4 GTs or Pilot Road 3s would have been a better choice.

depends I think a lot on your riding style.the T30 leans more to the touring side of it while the pilot roads a bit more to the sport side of things.the pr4's
are tough to find in stock right now.my sport riding days are long over so I
am more interested in longevity.a good friend of mine who went from a
hyabusa to a zx14 and now rides a c14 has run them all and he highly recommended the T30'S for the type of riding I do.time will tell if I like them
well enough to purchase them again.

The pilot road 3 and 4s probably outlast any other MC tire in the ST class and are the best in the rain. I have PR3s on my bike. I got 12,5K out of the rear and 15,2K out of the front. The PR4s are supposed to be even better all around. The PR3 are still available though. I am replacing my front tomorrow. So much better than the PR2s that came with the bike, which lasted 9500 miles. Michelin has a winner for sure.

Bob....I told no one. I was hoping that you would not tell anybody and nobody would notice until you rolled up to the Best Western in Orifino.

Oh well, cats out of the bag. Can't wait to see your new scoot. So what modifications have you made so far?

You will be held in high regard around here because you are still on a Kawasaki.

King Bob... Made his decision... Eat your heart out LeBron.
