    Tire Mystery

    Yea, I need two bikes but last time I tried that it didn't end well.

    Same tires. Only two explanations fit. I got a bad front tire, which I really doubt or I am riding differently. @Pauly Notice any major changes on the way I have been riding?

    That makes sense, I certainly push it and am front brakes all the time. However, I don't believe my riding style has changed that much. Maybe I have not noticed it.

    To be clear. He used to get 2 rears to 1 front on the wing. Using the same tires it had now reversed? Just out of the blue?

    Nope, have put several sets on it. Interesting, over on the Wing forum many are reporting the same. I find it odd.

    Too late, they are at the dealer now. Wear patterns on both look totally normal.

    No trailer. I do put that "cooler rack" on the back for long trips but that is not very often.

    I always change my tires in pairs. The fronts are still good when I do that but not enough that I care to save a few dollars compared to the hassle of going to have them mounted twice. This time, the front is wore out and there is still some life in the rear. Not a ton, but quite a bit. I am a stickler for tire pressure, check it every ride. How did I wear the front out first. That has never happened on this bike, or any other bike that I can remember.
  9. Well, apparently today I wore my front tire out trying to lose this pesky BMW that was behind me. Got a 4200 mile trip coming up, back tire will be toast by the time that is done. Just pulled them both off and will take them to Sills first thing in the morning. Glad I always keep a pair around.
  10. Another option I just remembered. These are cheap and I have been told they work well. You set it by putting the long end against the brake lever. You just have to adjust it so the tension isn't too high so you can manually roll off the throttle. https://www.amazon.com/Go-Cruise-GC-A1BK-Universal-Throttle/dp/B00ERXG4TM/ref=pd_aw_ci_mcx_mh_ci_mcx_mr_bw_mh_m_andr_web_sspa_mw_detail_2?pd_rd_w=xRzMh&content-id=amzn1.sym.33b4a6f1-821a-4d36-a511-3308bbb704da&pf_rd_p=33b4a6f1-821a-4d36-a511-3308bbb704da&pf_rd_r=66VZHVV8SHRQP16PTMAD&pd_rd_wg=tjL8T&pd_rd_r=5aac32e9-681f-4a76-8463-2be365f94147&pd_rd_i=B00ERXG4TM
  11. They call those throttle locks. I believe Atlas makes one for that bike. https://www.atlasthrottlelock.com/

    US Open

    For the record, I am trying very hard to get us to sponsor a MotoGP umbrella girl. Our logo on an umbrella girl ass would be epic.

    Well, look who sponsors the winner of the US open.
  15. Blue is the fastest no matter what brand.
  16. Nice, glad you are back where you belong.
  17. Yea, highway pegs are hard on Wings. They always drag. Only thing I have seen that is for sure safe are Mic O Pegs. Out of business but maybe you can find some used. I took my pegs off. Not putting them back on.
