I got a complimentary copy of MotoUSA magazine with a tire from Motorcycle Superstore. A gorgeous slick stock mag published quarterly and cover priced at $5.95. From MotorcycleUSA dot com

A really pretty nice mag, but the real news is a 6 page article on the TAT written by Scott Brady of Overland Journal. Deals with the development of the trail, riding the trail and pictures. Looks pretty darn good to me.

I have no idea where you would go to get the mag, unless you do what I did, order a tire. Price and service were absolutely first rate. Free shipping on a rear tire took 3 days, the price was a total of $30 less than anyplace else. I mean anyplace, too. $126.95 for a 160/70-17 Avon Storm. Wonderful. I'll get it put on tonight...

Tom, thanks for the tip on the Storm... I thought there was an issue with that tire?

I ordered my last tires from there too. Ordered 3 tires got 3 mags. :) Kind of expensive way to buy magazines.:D Good prices on the tires though.

Not for me:) This is my 5th. The very best tires I have ever ridden on, by a fair long ways. I haven't had a bit of problem...I have teeny headshake on this front that I didn't have on the 1st front, but it is very modest. More than made up for by the way they feel on the road.

What kind of mileage are getting out of them Tom?

I've gotten about 8500 to 9000mi on each. I don't put them on as a pair, the most recent rear was right at 9,000. I may get 10,000 out of the current front.

The tires feel so good, that the mileage is really inconsequential to me. The STorms are just beyond good in the corners. I'm not a particularly good rider, these tires inspire confidence. Great confidence.

I went and ordered some tires just so I could receive a magazine. :D

I needed a new tire on the GS and they had the best price.

I ordered an Arai XD face shield from them and was please to have the magazine as well. It looks great, and I can't wait to read it.
