Bull to the shyte

Ride it hard and set up a rear tire savings account. I have only 3800 miles on my new bike and I’m on the wear bars of the rear. Something tells me I ride a tad aggressive.

I do the know the quick shifter is hard on the tire especially in sport mode.

You had me worried there for a bit Mel.
Tyre's are like fuel, no choice's gotta have it.
Regarding fuel, when it went from NZ$0.45 to NZ$0.48 a Gallon, I got over the price then.
It's around NZ$8.50 a (Imp) gallon these days here.

4. Never mind checking the air pressure, you'll see if it's totally flat

1-ride good quality roads-very hard to find in the states
2-match engine speed to road speed
3-Drop quite a few pounds(average Yankee could drop two stone easily)

If it's all right with you, I would prefer to keep my two stones.

I don't think he meant the two pebbles in their pouch..

The obvious solution to tyre longevity is the Dark Side.

I personally wouldn't go down that road.. Only driven a bike with car rear tyre once, but that was a nightmare in turns..

Ian, I said stones not pebbles
