Default Rangerscott's father/son 2012 ride

No I dont have a son. Jeeze, could you imagine a lityle spawn of me?

Last year we went to Arkansas while a bunch of you pussied out. Well..all of you did. This year we are heading right on tue map on Nashville, TN. We were gonna head up to North Charolina, but plans changed. I believe after raising hell in Nash, we're heading to Kentucky then making are way back home. Got 9 days off so this year it should be more relaxing.

Ahhh yea. Smell it.

Went back with the shinko Apex's since I had no problems with the last pair. These even balanced out better than the last set and the only weight need last time was a 1/4oz on the front wheel. Yes, there are rub marks on the rims. They're gonna be powder coated eventually. Really thinking if I want the gold look.

Had the last pair almost 2 years (2 months short). I was going to leave them on for winter but with the trip, I didn't want to risk anything.

New shoes are always a good idea.

2 years, fine, but how many miles?
I mean, the wife's had the same tires on hers for 5 and they still weren't worn out, but they only had about 8k on them.

Enough miles to wear them out.

So we got Nashvillie and Memphis on the list. The rest will be small towns through out Arkansas, Tenn, kentucky, and maybe missouri.

Finally at our first destination. Would have been here 2 or so hours ago but my extra visor flew off and had to stop at a tire place to help fix my front tire since its not seated properly. One little spot. Seems to be a lot better now.

Arkansas today, Tennesse tomorrow.
