Funny enough, this was in South Dakota, where I saw a number of these. Didn’t see a single one in Kansas.
I went with the Dunlop Elite 4s again. Don’t know about you, but I’m more concerned with running over something sharp and not going flat, than I am about performance. In a weird way, getting down to the cords without popping sold me on them even more. I haven’t tried other tires though, so couldn’t tell you comparatively how they perform over something else.
99% of all the tires I sell for the big bikes are E4.
I’m more of a performance rider so I use commander III’s. On any given day my rides consist of about 150-250 miles. Someday, I’ll graduate to @CalvinAndHobo status.
Funny - neither of you wants free cigars, so maybe you're already there.

Hard to beat Dunlops, I've worn out many of them on my Harleys, went back and forth between those and the Michelins on the BMW, and I have to say that the Dunlops weren't as squirrely and held up better. Michelin's got a new GT out, though, supposedly built with the Gold Wing in mind. I'll be calling Powersports soon, if they don't have the Michelins I won't be heartbroken. Larry's input carries a lot of weight, too.

Oh, and I put about 140 miles on yesterday, rode up to LBL for a picnic with Faye, probably should have taken a couple pictures, but that's one of our frequent rides. She calls me with the next weeks weather forecast and says "This is going to be our riding day, where do you want to go?" I'm blessed.

Makes sense. The difference between SD and KS is the variations in terrain. SD has lots, KS...not so much.
