Well it is getting close to time to change out my tires. I want to try the Pirelli Night Dragons. I have been buying my tires from The Motorcycle Superstore because they used to put me on hold while the CSR called the warehouse and got the mfg. date of the tire(s) they were going to send me. When I called this time, they have grown "too big" to do that anymore since the tire warehouse is located somewhere else (no telephones I guess). Anyway, because they were not offering me something that differentiated them from the competition, I decided to try Bike Bandit instead. They were cheaper for both the front and rear tires. So I called them to see it they could put me on hold and check the tire mfg. date. No, they do not do that.
OK. So I told the guy that I do not accept tires that are more than a year old when they get to my house. I said I would reject the shipment if that was the case. So I ordered the tires, a helmet for my 4 year old son, and a fork oil air space tool.
Tonight the tires and helmet arrived, and you guessed it - rear tire had a mfg. date of 1109. Front was good at 2111, but I had to reject both because they were in the same package. So I am sending back the tires and the helmet.
Guess I will go back to MSS and see what they can do!!
Very frustrating. So I am taking Bike Bandit off the list of suppliers I will use.
TQ
