At my work the motorcycle parking lot is near a big collection of bus stops, so it's not uncommon for me to get Spyder comments, questions and fan mail while I gear up at the end of the day.
Today, an older business-suited gentlemen walked up to me and pointed at my OEM Kenda front tires, asking "Why are they on backwards?" :hun:
He noted that the tread patterns on the other bikes in the lot all appeared to face the other direction, so ergo, my tires must be mounted backwards.
I didn't know what to tell him other than, I *think* they are fine the way they were mounted, but, ummmm... thanks for asking?
Of course, I rode home all paranoid that my dealer made a mistake that I somehow have managed to miss noticing for three years running. I admit that I wasn't comforted until I stooped down on one knee in my driveway to note that, yup, the tires were on the right way (thank you, helpful Kenda arrows!).
