Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk On the summer trip I took a day to run the Skyway, the Dragon and 28 only, all day, to work on some techniques. Didnt see any LEO's that day. Didn't see many that trip in general. Woulda seen one more but Joel, Tony, and myself merged onto the highway in-front of a state highway patrol. @2talltim Lookin slim dude! @what how you rode that distance with a backpack I'll never understand.

Next spring will mean all new riding gear for me. Pants and jackets were loose as hell for this trip that won't fly once I hitmy goal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have much weight in it. It was essentially just extra storage space if I needed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 So I decided to throw together my pictures from the gap trips into a collage. Makes a nice desktop background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just looked over the bike for the first time since the trip. My rear tire was brand new when I left, 0 miles. After the trip, the tire is feathering awful bad. This is my first set of PR4s and probably my last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, what pressures are you running? Mine seem to do better 3-4 over what Yamaha recommends. Then again, I'm more of a distance rider, so the center always wears out first, with lots of tread left on the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just jump back to the T30s, they wear even and stick like glue, yea I wasn't getting the mileage but for the cost they are probably the better deal still.

ScubaCinci Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I need to figure out what shoes to put on my Tenere...strictly road/touring tires or 80/20 dual sport tires. I may go with what came with the bike...they aren't great off-road but seem to do well on pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Is this a good trip to judge tire wear? We were tearing it up for four days non-stop. Several folks had tire issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several folks had tire issues. That's how I roll 80% of the time, so yea I can judge my usual wear. Just found a sweet deal on BT023's, non GT spec but they are $160 delivered after rebate for the set. Don't think I can go wrong at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 My PP3 rear is tore up pretty good too, was pretty much brand new before the trip. It probably has another 500 miles on it, maybe. I'm going to do 1 more PP3 rear to let the front wear out then swap over to Q3s and see how they do on the road. Love the Q3 on the track, sticky as hell.
