The guy rode it 100 miles on 30 year old tires. He's lucky he's still in one piece.

Those old tires hold up just fine until you've warmed them up and take that 30 mph turn at 65.  :johnny

That's one myth I do not want to be the one to attempt to debunk!!

But it's a lovely looking bike. Even though I am partial to my full fairing, heated grips, functioning fuel gauge and ABS (which that one appears not to have)

BTW Volador -- I'm blocked from crossing the border to MN so have not yet seen the spliines :(  Maybe I can sneak across on my Enduro - the river is still ice covered in places.

The Carrera GT Paul Walker died in had old tires on it, contributing to his fatal accident.  I once bought a used but good Michelin for my TR Spitfire to use as a spare.  After mounting I inflated it to 32psi and watched a bubble in the sidewall expand to grapefruit size then blow up like a hand grenade.  Old tires are great for trailer and garage queens, not so much for daily riders.
