A verbatim email conversation I had with the wifey a bit ago. Sometimes things just hum around me, sometimes they just make noise........I was noticing just the other day that Frank be needing tires soon -- that the wear bars on the rear are showing. David, I really think you should get new tires for Frank before he slips or slides or worse.

and you won't learn by email that because of some special maneuvering by myself I was able to get a pretty good deal on tires for Frank. Before you blow a head gasket, the freebies I got are pretty much gone, yet plenty of riding season remains. The bike is steering pretty badly due to the unusual wear pattern Michelins are known for, the rear tread is at the wear bars, the front is vibrating at speed. It was time-I had hoped to finish out the season on them, is not to be. I spent $216.83 for $300.00 worth of tires by using price matching/beating techniques against a store, kinda what you did with credit cards.

Edit-the "unusual wear" is an incredible loss of side tread on the front-I mean it is GONE. The transition from straight to turn is truly awe inspiring......
