Well, at 3463 miles the tread was gone in the front and rear Bridgestones. I just got back from a week long trip to Asheville, NC. I changed the tires over to the Angel GTs right before I left. I scrubbed them in on the BRP on my way up to Little Switzerland, NC. I love riding the loop around town. 226A - The Diamondback. OMG what a difference those tires made in the handling!!! For all of you that recommended them, Thank You!
After that, we rode down 221 to 70, then jumped on Route 80 (The Devils Whip) and rode it back up to the BRP. Really fun route! Some of those hairpin curves are insane! You turn to look thru the curve, then realize, "oh, the road on the other side of the curve is way up there! I swear you climb the equivalent of several stories while going around a (suggested) 15mph 180 degree curve. One thing I learned on this trip... Any road you find with this sign (see pic below) is going to be an awesome ride!!!
For anyone not familiar with the Devils Whip, check this out.
Had to ride the Rattler while I was there too.
Here is a map of the Rattler
