I headed out about 8:40AM. It never warmed beyond 68 degrees for the day. But, it was really nice. After eating a hearty breakfast at the Cracker Barrel in West Memphis (about 55 miles west of my house), I headed west on I-40 for a few more miles before exiting the highway and began riding the backroads south of the Hwy. Lots of open country - farm country. And, there were some areas with trees. Not so much on this ride, though. I ended up enjoying a nice lunch in W. Helena, AR before heading back over the Mississippi River into Mississippi.
From there, I worked my way north and east towards Oakland / Somerville, TN. I decided to stop in Olive Branch Suzuki / Yamaha to visit for a few minutes. This is the dealer I purchased my HJC helmets from, and a couple of other accessories.
By the way.... if you have been considering a rain suit purchase in the future, I discovered the Field Sheer brand 2XL works well for me. :thumbup: I'm 6'4" - 200 lbs.
Upon leaving the dealer is when I noticed that my front left tire is wearing on the outer edge. The right tire is consistent across the tread. But, there is noticeably more wear on the left front. Looks like an alignment issue (or, tow?). And, I always check tire pressure before a ride - usually weekly. I keep 17.5 or 18 lbs in my fronts.
I hope I can get it over to the dealer this morning, and have them address this before it gets worse.
