Well this particular shop has an excellent reputation, but I figured savage owners here would know best.

Anyway, looking forward to riding with brand new tires.

When I rode the bike to the shop, and knew that the rear tire leaked - it was a bit scary. Yet my husband followed in the van, and I figured if the tire went really down before I got there, he'd let me know - if it wasn't obvious to me. It felt a bit odd riding, but I couldn't get a good view of it when I was sitting on the bike - so I just keep riding and hoping the air would hold up - it did. Phew!

Green 2000 Savage purchased in Nov. 2005. Memphis fat windshield, Willie and Max Saddlebags, jardine slash cut muffler, engine case guard, Metzler 880 ME tires, fork brace, and carb re-jetted.

BTW, there's a coating on new tires that makes them very slick for about 100 miles. Ride easy on your new tires
