I have a friend who picked up a really nice late 80s BMW R100RS with the single sided swing arm a couple of years back. He replaced all the fluids, including the front forks, torqued down everything, but didn't replace the 15 year old tires. Long story short, the bike went out from under him, (ironically, right in front of a state trooper.) Broken collarbone, broke ribs, punctured lungs, and a broken wrist. He wasn't even going fast, no speeding ticket. Needless to say, the whole ordeal, cost him a lot more then even the best tires would have set him back!
