I mean, I just assume a man who owns a motorcycle would make tires a top notch priority. I once did a weekend excursion with a buddy on a motorcycle. We had fun, but I'm not a good rider - I just move around too much. Anyway, when I got home my Dad laid into me. The back tire was bald and he told me to ALWAYS look at tires. > >Prices are cheap though - I've done the front discs (£24+tax each) and both >sets of pads (which actually had loads of material left) for about £50 for >both sets.
