Suggestion .
 

Here`s an idea that I would like to float past .

How about a database for things like tyres i.e. where and when bought and how much it cost . Sometimes there are large price differences between countries close together , and we could all use that few extra dollars here and there .

And if not a database , then how about a long thread . After all it is searchable .

And while we`re at it , how about a session on bike preparation or associated tips . I`m sure there`s a zillion ingenious things we could do to make the bike or accessories better .

Cheers,
Chris

I second that.
And... with the tires the milage could also be put in. And how did you like it, etc...

OK , I'll get the ball rolling .

In Caracas , you can get a Pirelli MT60 ( 130/80/17 ) for 120,000 Bs ( 95USD ) . You can also get a Metzeler ME77 130/90/17 for 75,000 Bs ( 58 USD ) . Date , 20/7/2002 , address Caloremania , Av Franciso Solano Lopez , Cruce con Santos Ermini , Local 9-3 , ph 212 762 60 56 .

In Lima you can get the same MT 60 for 64 USD at Avenida Republica Panama 3538 .

A database for just this sort of stuff IS in the works - we just need the time to get it done. We agree that this is excellent information that everyone wants to know.

Tires is one of the hottest subjects on the HUBB.

For now, start a thread on TIRES in the "Equipment Reviews" forum - that's what it's for.

And we promise we'll work faster... http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

In the meantime, tips can always be posted in the appropriate forums.
