New tires

Well today I got new tires put on the Monster. In hindsight I think I should have waited a few days as my jaw is still really swollen and wearing the helmet was not a whole lot of fun. Still Eastside Motorcycle had them at the right price and the service department seemed pretty good so no complaints so far. The person who helped me with the tires (Dave) was a really nice guy and had some great advice on which tire to select.

Obviously the tires are brand new so I need to take it careful for a while until I am used to them and they have had a chance to wear in a bit.

Anyway enough of my prattle here are some pictures of the tires.


Front tire: Michelin Pilot Road 2 (120/60ZR17)
