My Goldwing buddy came over yesterday. So I took if for a ride around the block (big block, about 10 miles). Haven't been on a big bike in a while and that was a mistake. Talk about smooth!!! Sure makes one think about a Wing. (wife said "Don't get any ideas!")
He just had a "car" tire put on the rear of his Wing. Very interesting. I took it for a ride. Below around 45mph is likes to wallow; a lot. Above 45 and into higher freeway speeds it was solid as a rock and smooth as silk. He feels he'll get 30-40,000 miles off that tire campared to about 10,000 for a "bike" tire. He's a high annual mile guy so it was a good move for him. Can't say I like the wallowing though.
I made a mistake
