If it's between Honda, with 50+ years of motorcycle manufacturing experience, and a bicycle manufacturer with 0 years experience building motorcycles, my last dirt bike would have the Honda name on it. Another thing, if the Cannondale is truly your last dirt bike, you'd better plan on giving up dirt biking in the next few years.

Well, in case anyone is following my tire thread, I got a call this afternoon from the cycle shop and there is no way of getting GP-110's anytime soon. Choice number two were Kenda K270's. I figured they are cheap enough that I can replace them each way for my trip. Same thing, no can do. Is there a tire shortage happening? I decided to spend a few bucks more and go with a set of Continental TKC-80's. My current rear TKC-80 has shown great resistence to wearing out so I know they'll be up for the trip, plus get me through all the off road bits I care to throw at it. 2 weeks, 6 days and counting...
