    Thanks Russ for the offer!! Barak already offered to let me drop ship them to him. He said he will most likely be there Sat evening or early Sunday. I also order 2 cans of Ride On, so not only will the tires be balance but they will also be puncture resistant. :lol: Ok so next on list is to...

    That may very well work. Thanks Scott :) I will look into the Ride On products. With a set of D606 front and 908RR rear I can usually get about 4K miles out of them. I'm estimating total mileage to be around 5k which includes 1500 of that going to El Paso. That leaves around 3.5K on the new...

    Sooo....... I'm kicking around a little (big) plan change for me. :dribble: The original plan was to drive the truck with the bike on the back to EL Paso. This was because I was going to pick the wife and kid up at the Tucson airport, so that we could be with the In-laws in Rio Rico during...

    Don, Since I still haven't heard back from MotorDiscovery maybe you can answer this: Filling out the paperwork (that we send back to Motordiscover to make sure the border crossing goes smooth) it states that name on the Driver's license and bike title must match. My driver's license and bike...
