Perhaps. I'm not a tire expert by any means but I am aware of a legislative effort to make the selling of "old" tires illegal. What is considered "old" has been the stumbling block. Six (6) years is being discussed. Also, I recall that motorcycle tires have a shorter shelf life than automobile...

I was a weather observer with the 20th Weather Squadron, Det. 13. One thing I regret (among many!) was not keeping my embroidered baseball cap. Alas, few souvenirs survived my short-sighted youth. HA!

Thanks for refreshing some old memories. In 1966-67 I drove a Toyapet Crown Deluxe all around that area when stationed at Misawa AFB. I learned to eat (swallow!) sushi in Hachinohe and had some of my best fishing days on Lake Towada. A lot of guys bought Honda 305 Scramblers and Dreams...

Doug, My disappointment was not being able to hang around for the FREE parade lap at the end of the day. Road Atlanta deferred the $25 fee for Triumph owners to ride a lap or two around the circuit. GG

Spent some time at the Triumph Big Kahuna at Road Atlanta on Saturday. Attached are a few pictures. It's a beautiful track.

Well done and thank you. GREG

More prayers from GA God speed...and thanks for asking!

I was intrigued by the poster for the 20th Vintage Rally hosted by HoAME. Created this wallpaper.

Here you go. (With shameless plug for back-to-back NCAA Baseball champion Gamecocks!)

The tank has been empty and on the shelf for over a year. Perhaps the rust is recent.

Nope, nothing custom, Seth. This became a spare tank when I installed the black and chrome one. Alas, it fell off the shelf and received a softball size dent. Now it's a piece of "art" hanging on my garage wall...cool!

Attached are pictures of the inside of the right side of a 2001 tank. The rust around the top seems minimal to me. Since the petcock/reserve is on the left side of the tank (not pictured), you can understand how a gallon of gas could easily be "trapped" on the right side. The breather/overflow...
