Looks like I will be going to the Mid Ohio scooter meet. Just west of Columbus so not that far for me.  It is in May.  Just 95 days!  Gives me a goal to get kicker done.

Thanks Bill.  You should go.  You're not far from it!  I am probably going solo and getting plans together now.

Rick. You are probably gonna own those tires!  One is bald from doing burnouts!  LoL.  Other is as nice as the one you have.  Your bike deserves it!  Plus another little item I have.  Just gotta have some alone time with them first!

I just bought a Coker 2.75 x 21 Firestone reproduction tire.  These just came out recently, and are ribbed like a Servi-Cycle tire.  I mounted it to the rear and put my original Simplex 27 x 3 tire on the front.  The Firestone tire is about 1/2" taller than the Simplex tire.  It is also about 1/2" larger in the bead, but seems to mount and seat well..  I think this is about as good as we can get for these Sportsman rims.

What do you guys think?

Love the name.  Looks like a deep rib.
