I put new tires on my bike before I left on this trip thinking they would last the 12,000 or so miles I expected to put on this trip. However, the chip seal here in the east wears them out pretty fast. Fortunately, I was meeting up with with Bob, a fellow from the Goldwing forum that I had been trying to meet up with for the last couple of years, but our paths kept crossing in the night. Low and behold, he had the very tire I needed and even hauled me and the tire to the next town so I could get it mounted. Thanks Bob, I really enjoyed our visit, and I really appreciate all of your help.

Bob's riding has been on hiatus for a couple of weeks, but he is hoping to get clearance to ride again soon, maybe soon enough we can get a ride or two in together!

We had very nice lunch at this southern restaurant.

Lots of cars and bikes, always a good sign.

Bob patiently waiting for my blog pics. 

Two presidents and a king have eaten here!

At Honda of Russelville, this caught my eye.

I would buy it if I had a place for it. Would be fun in our desert.

You can choose any color combo you want and they will paint if for you

Only a couple of miles on this tire.

The rest of the town looks like it is being reclaimed by nature

I stopped on this one lane bridge and took a couple of pics. This side is still water and perfectly smooth 

On the other side you can see a little bit of flow

Made it!

Same tire, 75 miles later.
