Well that front tire might serve you better as a prop for your business rather than a contact patch for your ride! That is, if it is the original tire. It is a Mag Mopus though and NO ONE replaces the front oem tire with same. Therefore that tire has to be full of cracks and hard as a rock. Looks cupped too. What, 11 years old? (DOT 3501)?

Yes, it is a Bridgestone Mag Mopus, but it looks very good. It still has the rubber vent hole sprews still on the tire. I didn't have the best light but the tire looks close to perfect.
However tell me more.
I was looking for excuses to put white walls on it, and get wider tires if I can safely put wider tires on the same rims.
And yes, it only has 5800 miles on it. That was one of the main reasons I bought it. THat kind of mileage on a 10 year old bike is amazing.

The tire is 11 years old. Need I say more? How it looks is moot. imho 
No worries, just a heads up.

Wow, welcome. I never had the pleasure of meeting Robert as he vanished right after I bought my tba. I hope his disappearance wasn't my fault. Heck, I could be responsible for both Robert and Uncle Phil leaving.
Anyway, congrats and welcome.

Welcome Kevin. Like many it was Robert's review on some other site that brought me to this site (well the first version anyway, some will remember it) in 2002 and convinced me to buy my Speedmaster in 2004.
Glad that a bit of history resurfaced here  .
I understand Robert's priorities, I took about a twenty year hiatus from riding while raising my kids. Perhaps he'll get back into it someday.
