So what I'm getting after five pages is that including kms on my usa speedo is not federally mandated...that about it?

You were talking about that Triumph Street Twin; I just put a set of Metzeler Z8's on mine and what a HUGE difference.

Much better on the freeway. Geared a little lower with the lower profile, corners great, rides much smoother, more responsive to throttle. They will make it a much better bike. The sizes are mixed metaphors, width/height in mm, diameter in inches. DOT requirement.

Well that, and apparently if your gauge needles happen to jiggle a little then you're old-school cool! Cool

My garage speakers are Acoustats. Many people don’t know what they are.

I also had a set of Magnepans and tried to sell them on Craigslist. No interest whatsoever. I kept dropping the price and finally just threw them.

Heeeeeeelp....I'm drifting and I can't get up! At least I was on the gauge.

Josh, my college buddy had a pair of Acoustats. Amazing loudspeakers.

Guth, I have an all-original '66 Slingerland 4-pc jazz kit in my living room. It would have enjoyed meeting your '64 Fender tube amp. If you happen to have a nice '60's ES-355 laying around, we need to chat.

I had a Slingerland kit when I started playing...probably 1972 or so. Gave it away in the early 80s.

Trained my ears on JBL 4311s in the 1970s. Had two pairs over the years but they are outdated now.

İmage

These were considered the finest studio monitor on the planet for quite some time. Most of Hendrix's Electric Lady, Steely Dan, etcetera were all mixed on this type.

They would sound like crap with today's digitally mastered music but would be fantastic with vinyl and a solid-state amplifier.

12" woofers.
