    I envy you guys!
    I'm retired and every time the weather has been decent enough to ride I'm had to go some where in the cage (too much crap to haul). It's good to be able to follow the thread though.

    Thanks Doc! I'd been following the thread and I found Ali when he was on Halfway Road but being unsure of the rules of the game (and not having a camera with me), I left him lay. Looks like a fun way to spend time.

    TAG!

    I'm going to let the picture be the clue for now. If that isn't enough, then I can give a few pointers.

    You can find Ali in a small green shrub to the RIGHT of the blue door right in front.

    It's the only little green shrub like that.

    Happy Hunting.

    Hey Kres - what kind of tires you running on your 'Strom, and do you like them? I'm considering something more agressive than the trailwings, but not full blown knobs and yours look like a nice mix.

    Hey Matt --

    I just traded with another inmate to get this Strom. It's running a Conti TKC-80 in the front and a Metzler Sahara 3 in the rear.

    I was pretty skeptical looking at it, but they ride really well, from interstate speeds to dirt/gravel roads.

    Anything, ANYTHING is better then a set of Deathwings. :huh I once had a Vee (1000cc) and had a set of Avon Destanza's and they worked pretty well. Not sure if you can get them for a Wee or not. However, this mutant combo seems to work better.

    Cheers! :freaky

    Looks like you have choices in stock size too, which is nice. I'm running a tube tire without a tube on my rear.

    They vibrate at low speed, make the steering noticeably heavy (compared to the street tires I was running before) and are noisy. Not sure if any of those issues are a concern.

    For $105 (includes free shipping) at Chaparral I don't think you can go far wrong.

    Nice.

    I totally drew a blank on that one. Glad someone recognized it!
