I know a guy that applied shoo goo to his tire that was showing cords, then proceeded to ride it a few hundred more miles. Of course, I'm pretty sure he's certifiably crazy... I do have a truck and trailer if things get really bad for you. I can't leave until about 1630 tomorrow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc32-0 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 BTW, you might get better results at the independents or small shops than you will at the big dealers.I can think of two times a small shop and an independent got me back on the road when the big guys were going to leave me hanging.One was just in July ...thank you K&B of Petaluma, kiss my ass Yamaha of Santa Rosa.

alienpi Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 It's crazy how fast tires wear, I had a pirelli start showing threads years ago. A local shop had a set of shinko replacements and nothing else for some reason. I learned how different tires can be, on that trip back. I put a few hundred more miles on them when I got back, and then got a new set of Michelins; night and day difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whaler Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Nice pictures! On another note, apparently two bikes collided Saturday around 11AM and went over the side together. They were not found until Sunday 24 hours later! One died and one airlifted out. Always my worry at the gap...you can do everything perfect and someone else will take you out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
