I'm spending this weekend in the Saugatuck area with some friends. Any recommendations for day trips around there? I can bring the DL650 or WRR so dirt is a possibility too... are the holton loop/cedar creek ORV trails worth another hour trip north?

Suggestions for tire mounting? Don't say that dude who does it for a few hours after work on Wednesdays only, he's just way too inconvenient to save a few bucks. I'm up north in Ravenswood.

I'm up north in Ravenswood. You call THAT up north? Everyone I've found in Jefferson Park charges too much, so I just learned to do it myself. The only thing I have an issue with is seating the beads onto the rim, but this Firestone store at Foster & Milwaukee did it for me for no charge. I have a garage and all the equipment, if you feel like giving it a try. Unless MoT and SD want to have another maintenance party in Logan Square.

The guys at Motorcycle Mania were fair and fast, but they are just so out of my way that it's annoying. I basically have to go on a day I work from home so I can go when there is no traffic.

If you can take your wheels off your bike, All Day Tire on Division is e. What bike did you wind up getting?

I just cheaped out with an 03 sv650 with some good mods. Fits my needs and budget best. Yawn. Do they officially do motorcycle tires? ShaneB fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Jun 29, 2014 |

Nah. They don't balance motorcycle tires. I think it was like $10 or $20 for mounting though. My tires didn't feel out of balance when they were done.

It took 'em like 20 minutes. They're not equipped to take wheels off of the bike, is the only thing.

Anyone have any fun rides they do around/in the city? I'd love to have some ideas of where to ride after work when I just want to get some riding in.

Cruise up LSD, and then follow Sheridan to Sheridan to Sheridan to Sheridan, etc... That area is really lovely. Head out I88 to Aurora, then take 31 up to I90 or down until you get lost and need your GPS to get back to I55. I really like the Fulton Market area. Lots of neat little roads to explore, and you can probably catch air over the train tracks if you try.

Seconding LSD and Sheridan. Coming from SE Wisconsin, I do that drive in reverse all the time. This last Friday the weather was perfect and I stopped by the Adler planetarium to get a quick shot with the skyline

I live way north near LSD and do the Sheridan drive fairly often. I hate all the stop signs.

I'm never standing still long enough to do a trackstand (at stop signs).
