Became darksider enrte to key west.

[biblebilly]

Sept 4th my son and I took off for key west from detroit. thought the tread was good enough but could feel the cords move a bit when we changed lanes. installed the hydro 65, nut and cage job, and adj rear shocks to 5, in marietta, ga. with help from my brother-in-law on labor day. i felt awful but appreciated his kindness. no balancing caused no problems. the tire made a night and day difference. it felt like a cadillac. the girl didn't have the snappiness it used to, but the 3 grand @ 70 mph sure increased my gas milege. in charleston, sc my son in law and i switched out the front tire with the dunlop 404 rear with a reverse rotation, oil change, and rear brakes with relative ease. we had a great trip with memories that will stick with us /son and extended family/ for a long time. all the above would not be possible without the active participation of all of you and your posting. i never 2nd guessed any of my choices because of the confidence gained by your experience, THANK-YOU ALL! on the return trip we ran the tail of the dragon with the new tires smiling all the way. 2 cafe's sped passed us but i can't believe they beat our smiles. bill and cal

Surprising you were able to do that much work on the road.  Glad it worked out.  You're right, it's all about the smiles.  Thanks for telling us.

I couldn't agree more! The cycle tire is just a distant memory now-- darkside all the way!
