Spaz, glad you’re rocking out and enjoying your rides. My only regret so far is waiting so long to start riding.

Munch, I’m still a little wary about riding when it’s wet. That’s about the only time some paranoia sets in. And I’m sure it’s just a lack of confidence.

I changed out the back so soon because it was already worn out. Trust me, I was not happy about it. But I figured since I was replacing it, I might as well go a little fatter. And now guess what I need to replace… The front tire. I’m going to another Metzeler, either the 80/90-21 or the 90/90-21. I swear those OEM Dunlops just did not last for me. And before anyone gives me their suggestions on psi, I will state that I originally went by the bike’s suggestions but later went more by the tire’s psi recommendations and that is what I’ll continue to do. This whole thing is a learning process for me and even though I read and listen to those wiser or more experienced than me, it’s still a process.
