It is amazing what the right tire can do. I had a Volvo 240 with Michelins that lasted way over 60K miles.

I had other tires on some vehicles that wore out in no time. My 96 Bronco XLT ate up front tires like they were candy.

Those MAXX do look like a great choice.

That's so hot. I'd do that. Or flat black.

I'm really not a red guy. I loved the bikes but when I got them they were red and then yellow or red. Not including custom.

You know what I really liked....my 906 Desmo. Both I did the majority of driving when I was in Europe. Brought the 748 back to NYC and basically quit.

Told ya, and can't believe it but I'd do a Harley now. Something raw and rough.

Look at the Victory Star made by Yamaha. Awesome bike. And about half the price of a Harley Davidson. You are experiencing that typical mid-life "I am in my forties and I need to do something thrilling" phase of life. I remember that period well.

You would have liked my Porsche 928, it was Black with the beige interior. That body style was a real standout, especially with the pop-up headlights. People used to stop and ask me why they pointed up at the sky when they were off. I would turn them on and let them watch the lights tilt forward. They had an awesome looking cowling like some of the real early sports cars, When off, they tilted upward toward the sky as they rotated flush with the hood.

Quoted for truth. I would way rather have a European car and a Japanese girl than vice versa. Let the car be the high maintenance one. There might be some exceptions but you know what I mean.
