michelin commander IIs now for over 1800mi.  

the rear is still slicker than snot.  I can practically write my name at every stopsign.  a great donut maker, which way do ya want to spin? No passengers.  and NO RAIN!!!!  it'll last forever because I get nervous riding.

the front still seems to grab and stop. but I just got new EBC pads and they sent V pads which got installed before I 'noticed' and they need a bit more deliberation; like how strong is my brake lever???

so I'm supposedly learning to slow down and sooner.

the brake job and and an afterthought oil change took less than an hour so  guess I'm learning something.
