Baby needs a new shoe!

Well, it's time for another front shoe for the Magna..
I again am going with the Michelin Road Pilot 4. Tread down, the best front tire I've had..
I tried the Pilot 3, and it was great, I've had the Pilot 4 twice and will continue to be my front tire of choice.
Great in all conditions.
Only negative is I have to go one size shorter which makes the speedo read fast.. Other than that .. FABULOUS!!
Estimate 13K out of the one I'm replacing.. Put it on in October 2014

The Bigger tire is for the wifes Victory Cross Country rear.. Metz Ultra Marathon
I will again go with the Perelli Night Dragon on the rear when it's time. Not quite as fabulous as the pilot, but the best rear MC tire I've found.

Is something messing in the photo?

YES.. But it was a Jerry test, not an Terry test!

As the assistant sea foam police you are under offical house arrest until the correct picture is posted.

Oops. Just couldn't think of anything else to say.

Maybe it was time??
I wish they would compound the left side the tire a little harder than the right to compensate with the crowning of the roads..

Ride on the other side of the road.

I actually do..
On the access road to my neighborhood, as much as traffic allows.. But that is a small amount of my riding..
I'd ride more on the other side of the road in general, but then I'd have to ride the bike in reverse, and Honda didn't include that feature in the transmission.. Just another shortcoming of the Gen3..

I was thinking you could work on your maneuvering skills, we could read about you in the news, you would be famous!
