New tires

Apparently the road topping in highway 37 eats tires. We had lunch Friday with a couple fellows from Mexico and one of their rear tires was worn to the threads. We looked at our tires and saw that they were worn too, but I figured we had a couple mils on each tire before we needed replacements. I was planning on getting oil changes and tires in Kelowna when we got there. 

However, once we got off hwy 37 and into hwy16, Karen noticed threads on Brandon's tire. We stopped and checked all our tires and now needed 3 rear tires and 2 front tires. Yikes!

We got into the Smithers Harley shop first thing this morning and are in the process of getting the last tire put on. Thank goodness he had the tires we needed in stock. Mike (service manager) said they plan on at least 2 emergency tire changes a day, but today had 10 as of 8:15 am!

I still can't believe the tires wore down so quickly. Oh and I think they are washing the bikes too, which is awesome, because they were all filthy from all the gravel and construction in the rain. 

Hopefully everything is good to go today, so we can get South before the rains come (forecasted to rain again Monday)!

No pictures because the wifi is terrible. 

TTFN,

Stew.
