Awesome job John! The Baja Ron swaybar was the first add-on to my Spyder and I really enjoy the better road handling. I also had my tires changed: I thought about getting the Kanine but finally decided to go with the standard Kenda tires this time at my dealership.

Thanks we haven't taken it for a good ride yet but the short test ride felt good... we'll see how many miles we get on the Kenda Kanine tire..

I started doing my own work on our bike when we moved to PA.. I didn't have a garage.. So now I purchase the tires.. I have them mounted at a local tire company

@@johnrita that's awesome! I remember you told me you didn't have a garage before. I think that's pretty decent mileage you got out of that rear tire considering you ride two up.

AI said the highest road point is; The highest point of a roadway in Pennsylvania is located: 1. On U.S. Route 30 (also known as the Lincoln Highway) 2. At Laurel Summit 3. In Somerset County 4. In the Laurel Highlands region of southwestern Pennsylvania More specifically: - It's part of the Allegheny Mountain range - It's within the Laurel Ridge State Park - It's near the border of Somerset and Westmoreland counties - It's approximately 10 miles east of Jennerstown and about 20 miles west of Bedford This area is known for its scenic beauty, especially during autumn when the foliage changes color. The Laurel Highlands region is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking trails, ski resorts, and other recreational activities. Sounds like a fall ride.

Star Trek: Original Series Set Tour is Located in Historic downtown Ticonderoga, New York. When the STAR TREK television series was canceled in 1969, the original sets were dismantled and largely destroyed, only a few small items of the actual sets remain today, and those that have survived are in private collections. Trek superfan James Cawley began the process of rebuilding the sets just as they would have been seen 50 years ago when the series was being filmed, a 14 year journey has culminated in the most accurate rebuild of the original sets, and is now open and welcoming STAR TREK fans from all over the world! Our sets are complete recreations built using the original blueprints, hundreds of hours of serious research and thousands of photographs - both period images and images culled from extensive review and capture from the original episodes. The sets will NOT and were NOT designed to move from one city to another and are fully licensed by CBS. The Star Trek: Original Series Set Tour Invites you to come see the Desilu Studio as it looked during the years between 1966-1969 while Star Trek was in production.
