Re: 3rd Party Wheels...

Why wouldn't you? Customize your bike. Again, maybe it's a different mindset for motorcycles, but pretty much every r100 has either spokes or "snowflake" wheels. I actually like the spoke wheels on my r100r, I'd just like to see some other options. With cars you can have nearly limitless c...

3rd Party Wheels...

Newbie: Are "Vintage" Tires Safe?

Total beginner here. Just starting to learn to ride and just bought my first bike. It is a custom BMW R100R I purchased from a custom builder in LA.
