TW. >>>> Dale: I'm currently running a set of Bridgestones. TW21 on the front and TW22 on the rear. No problems whatsoever on pave and dirt roads. TW21 front is very much like the OEM Dunlop but just a little more "rumbly" probably because of the knob pattern. I have just about 5000 miles on the rear TW22 and it is getting close to the wear bars in the center of the tire. I think it'll go another couple of thousand before it gets unsafe. The OEM Dunlop wore only half as well. They are working for me and I'd buy them again. Dual Star is selling OEM Dunlops for $100.00 a set. That's not a bad price. Thanks.

Just a little testimony on my Combat Touring boots. I`ve had mine for several years, before Aerostich/Rider Warehouse bought the design rights from Sidi. We had to rent a car in Moab to go to Albuquerque, NM to see my nephew and haul him and his bike to a BMX race. Anyway, all I had with me was my Combat boots, so I had to drive 8 hours in a Dodge Neon there, two days in town ( movie and mall stuff) and 8 hours back, all in the Sidi`s. I`ve never worn them for those periods of time and on that much asphalt, or that much walking. They were as comfortable as any high-top work boots I`ve ever worn. The attention to design and quality materials shows in their comfort. Nothing like my Alpinstars as far as comfort goes. They just get better the longer I own them. So if you`re looking for a good pair of riding boots that you can wear all day and walk in all night, these are it. They aren`t cheap but believe me, you`ll get your money out of them. Sidi will repair or rebuild them for you, like a pair of White`s packers. p.s. The only thing that I don`t like is now that Aerostitch is selling them, they no longer have the Vibram sole. I would ask for this sole instead of the MX sole, as it makes for a more versatile boot.IMHO Skip
