How did you weigh them? I just used the stand on a home scale with one, stand on a home scale with the other method and they looked to both be around 14ish. You probably used a better method than me

I bet your bike was a wheelie machine with those tires strapped to the back

Haven't been to the good twisties around here. Any suggestions? I prefer to hang off than to make the bike lean and carry more speed through the corners without much lean..

In one day, I saw three different posts by three different people using words that conjugate in the past tense to ......ed and the authors used .....t. If I'm to assume that everyone who uses poor English is a multi-lingual whom doesn't have a good grasp of the one they're using...well, there are quite a few multi-linguals on the interweb that sound like seventh grade dropouts.

Yes, it is sad that the internet has become an excuse for poor spelling and grammar. Care in spelling and grammar shouldn't be confined to taking tests in school or writing your resume.

Sorry CrazyBiker... I must have had one of those shitty days. No harm meant.

I just took them in my hand and weighed myself on the scale and calculated the difference.
