It's coming up on crazy birthday/anniversary time for my family, with about 10 separate events in the first two weeks of august. In order to get a jump on the 'competition' i made my pitch for prezzies early...to my dad anyways.Always interested in a safety-oriented present, he bought me some new tires for the scoot. As much as I loved riding around on the original rubber (remember this is a 40 year old bike) I just felt a little nervous about the hardness of the rubber, and a bit of uneven wear that was starting to happen.
The new tires came in yesterday and I got the back one on, which is, ironically, the easier of the two. Now I'm riding in style. Thanks Pops.

happy birthday, whenever it is, but coming up soon. NICE tires, sort of sport bike tread, should be better in the rain (& Cranbrook gravel), probably gets you a more cushy ride too, more flex than the old hard ones.

I am hoping so. It was hard to pick since there was a bunch of options, but they were all order in only. I just went with ones that were half-decent quality.
August 4th is my birthday, by the way :)

too bad you aren't going to Kelowna. I'm still at work, but leaving in about an hour. trying to get there before 8pm. also have to fight the traffic because of the Merritt mountain festival. I love to read your 'diary' every morning, wish i knew how to start the BLOG, then i would have a diary too.

have a good weekend up there! My band is playing a concert tonight so that is out. I won't even be able to make it to the Calgary one this year...
looks like I will have to wait for next year's rally season.
those are some sexy new tires mikey. perhaps someone will buy you a new speedo for your birthday too? let us hope and pray.
oh, i put that on the list for sure.
mike:
leave your list "lying around" for others to see. (hint, hint) it's hard to see over your shoulder from here.
