I can really relate to this ........... fun getting older :(

Lets make one thing clear... I NEVER mentioned " special coatings " " mold release "or you " acting like a tire pro " Gets a little confusing when your quoting 2 people in the same thread. This is an open discussion :) I don't feel insulted and I hope I have not made you feel insulted either...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Thanks I needed a good laugh :)

I'm pretty confident of my statement that tires stored out of sunlight or florescent lighting, in a trash bag, at room temperature will have no noticeable degradation over 2-3 years. I've often purchased a few sets of tires when the price is right and stored them up to 3 years.

I knew what you were trying to say and it was a good line of thought ;) Just wanted to clarify any misunderstandings for the OP :D

Nice ride, that truck looks real clean :Rockon:

" How cool is this bike " Real cool ! I'm diggin it !

Beautiful bike ! great to hear everything worked out in the end . :thewave:

This is not necessarily true , chain, sprocket, output shaft and a host of other drive-train issues can still cause a problem even with the clutch disengaged. ( They all still have to spin even with the clutch pulled in )

Things to check Tire balance Tire cupping wheel bearings steering head bearings / adjustment Chain / sprockets condition and alignment Warped rotors bent rim Suspension is set up correctly All suspension bolts linkage and bearings/bushings One bad link in a chain at 100 mph can...

Yep walk away for sure !

I always kind of liked when Ford first went to that throwback body style, looking like the old muscle cars. Maybe 2005 or so .

I agree, just sounds like the guy wanted your paypal info ( email address ) So he could make the purchase.
