@TimTheAzn pays extra for tires like that.

Don't go with the Pirelli Angel GT if you want mileage. Result of hooning a big v-twin--KTM 990SMT--on the crystal abrasive blacktop in the mountains of TN/NC/GA for 1700 miles. Good grip tho....

Damn. Glad he's alive.

Started the day off at 8AM on the CBR. Home around 1 after 300 miles. Then hopped on the Goldwing with Ame, met up with some friends and headed to Presque Isle. Home at 7 with 140 miles. Good day.

I left my house yesterday around 11 AM and headed to Lisbon/Cadiz area for some riding with a friend. My friend lives locally here and had recently acquired a Concours and I thought I’d take him down to show him some of the routes I run. Mind you I took the Goldwing so I wouldn’t get crazy carried away. We made it into Cadiz for our first stop for a break and fuel. That was about mid route for what I had planned. I talked to him a little bit about how he was feeling and things of that nature and he said he was enjoying himself. We left from Cadiz and headed to 646. We made it through Scio and then shortly out of Scio we were making a left hander and a truck came along and I had to adjust my line as I’m guessing he did as well. After I cleared the corner I checked my rearview mirror to see his bike being ghost riding along the guard rail and then hit the asphalt. When I got to him he was down an embankment with two broken legs and in major pain obviously. He was life flighted from the scene. This is the fourth time I’ve had somebody following me wreck. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s best for me to ride solo. I don’t want to see somebody die on a ride with me. If somebody posts a ride I may join in but I for sure will not be heading up any more rides.
