Asshats.

That actually surprises me, I've never had anything but good experiences with Sky Cycle. They are probably the one dealership in the area I have anything nice to say about.

Why does Sky Cycle suck? The owner and sales manager are thieves, plain and simple.
I had a used bike on layaway during the winter when I was about 18. I lost my job and couldn't afford to buy it, but found someone else who did (all of this before riding season). They wouldn't give me my $$$ back. Anyone who would f#%k over a kid like that deserves to be shot.

My new neighbor brought in a bike to them when he was about 19 or so to get the carbs tuned and they took the motor apart. He got is back in a box with the explanation that "they couldn't fix it". Not all the parts were in the box either, they kept the cylinder head and a couple other parts they "lost". They pretty much told him to "take them to court".

I have dunlop 208s in stock ($258/pr. no shipping), some michelin pilots, and metz m1 as well. I know you can get them cheaper online, but i have them in stock with no shipping costs. $15 per wheel to mount n balance if you buy tires from me. $22.50 per wheel if you bring your own.

if that's true, it IS a good deal... and that's the scary thing... 70 bucks is alot of money, but for some reason changing bike tires is apparently rediculously fuckin expensive

Dude, I know it's too late, but bring your work to the track, Dunlop guys charged me 10$ to swap rubber on rims, wheels off the bike. They don't care what brand they are or where you bought them.

The money you save (70-10=$60) will more than pay for your day at NHIS.

NESR and I gave them 20 and told them to put the rest towards Brian's family.

E-mail Robert at: blasto@azmctires.com

He does mobile tire sales/installs for bikes...

I'm having him install a tire on my R1 soon.

Man, i would, but i'm gonna have to ride my bike up there.... if not the whole way, at least 1/3 of the way to NHIS on Weds. The rims & new tires are sitting in my garage at the moment. I don't really have much of a choice but to spend the 92 bucks, plus cost of weights at Kirkers tomorrow morning

do you guys think i should just get em mounted at 32/piece, ride up to NHIS at a slow pace & just get em balanced at the track?

I know.... I live right up the street from there now and won't buy so much as a spark plug off those pricks.

I bought my last two bikes from North Reading Motorsports, they always treat me really well and I have always paid allot less than MSRP, out the door.
