Mark, I have over 5,000 miles on the Distanzia rear tire, and there is little evidence of wear. I think this tire will wear well past the 7 - 8,000 mile mark. I really like the handling on the road. Just my .02 worth, Marshall in Slidell, 95 KLXC3 "Blackhorse" (in honor of those who served)

Adam, I must respectfully disagree. After running the Gripster on the rear 100% pavement for only 8500 miles I had to replace it. The Distanzia has over 5000 miles on it and shows almost no wear at this point. I hope to get at least 10 to 12,000 miles from it. Just my humble opinion, Marshall in Slidell, La 95 KLXC3 "Blackhorse" (in honor of those who served)

I just renewed with Rider/GMAC for the 7th year. State min and 150 Deductable for the A14 KLR650 was 191. The '02 R1150GS with 250 DED was 361. This is full coverage + under/non insured Motorists. Also 59 years old with clean record in the last 3 years. Motorcycle Safety School discount in there also. Think the discount for this about pays for the school every 3 or 4 years. I was quoted a lesser price by a couple others but not enuff to change. OH! BY the way. Best of luck to ya and thanks for all you've done for the list Gene. Hate to see ya have to give up all your rides but such is life. Know where you're at on this. Andy Cajun Country
