But...they do NOT say..


If the helmet site is free shipping, then it's better. I didn't see that said...on that site. Doesnt mean it's not there.

I paid $79 from local shop. He's known for selling tires for just a few $$ over his cost, though.

So?

I went through the registration process...to find:

S&H Will Be Added Later. Free Ground for Apparel/Helmets over $100 to 48 Lower States


I have to give them a card ## to GET S&H.

They CLEARLY say in a number of places that they CHARGE for shipping and handling. That a picture at the bottom of the page says differently means nothing.

I don't plan on giving them a credit card number to find out.

You can believe as you wish.

I will settle it by giving them a call. At worse they are misrepresenting their charges. At best it's free shipping. :wink:

Urban Dictionary def of 'blunt':

A cigar that has been hollowed and refilled with marijuana. The term 'blunt' was originally derived from the preferred brand of cigars for this operation, Phillies Blunts.

Described further as:

It's kinda like a Thanksgiving turkey. you cut it, gut it, and stuff it, but after you're done you're really hungry



Criminy..I can't imagine ANY size of cigar filled with the potency of today's weed!! :shock:

Motorcyclesuperstore is HERE in SOJ.

But..you order something from them, you can't PICK IT UP at the local store..even though their WAREHOUSE is here.

That's not applicable to the situation..I'm just bein' chatty....... :wink:

Order it from them, I'll send you the $4 difference t'ween what I paid and what MCSS will cost 'ya.

That's the best deal I got.

Worth $4 to get a trials tire under your rear end.

But..you'll probably hate it..then I'll never hear the end of it..ever.

Never.

When I first started riding and up to the point I quit riding dirt bikes the first time.... These type tires are what everything came with. Different compound but very similar otherwise.

I never had a problem getting grip except in deep mud. I think I will be very happy with them.

Took carvr's link at motercycle superstore and ordered up a X-11. I can't wait to mount it up and see how it works compared to the Dunny's I been runnin. It should be a lot easier to mount. Appears to maybe have a taller profile than the D803, but hard to tell not mounted.

I am going to use this tube. I have at least one of these in both my other trials tires. One even has an old one in there used as a boot.
