InyaAzz Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Find another MDX. I put 500-1000 miles per week on mine (when I can't ride). It's a 2004 with over 115000 miles. It's the first vehicle that I have been 100% satisfied with... towing boats, hauling kids, schlepping bosses....I've got my eye on one in Columbus. Just trying to find one closer.

twisted12 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 A bottle of Crystal Head will clear that right up for me.Acura MDXI was thinking of doing an EARLY ride tomorrow...it would be a short 200 mile or so route though. I still haven't changed that rear.i have to work this sunday, have to work one a month and tomorrow is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'm sure that party is going to be as awesome as a bike night but how will that fix my need to ride?Yeah, it wasn't anything like a bike night. It was during the day. DUH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 The ride was a bust; I was by myself but turned around in Clark just south of Millersburg. Sunny skies and dry roads all the way to Wooster then it got cloudy. The road started to get wet south of Millersburg so with the cloud cover and impending rain I didn’t think the roads had a chance to dry up for a long while, I called the ride and headed home. By myself I averaged 10MPH slower than I did the last ride with someone. I'm mad for putting the miles on the tires now, what a waste. I put new tires on Thursday and for the first time actually checked my rear mileage on the 1K. It wasn't as bad as I thought compared to the 600. I was getting between 1,800 and 2,100 plus change on the rears running 2CTs and Diablo Corsa IIIs. I got 1,730 on a Diablo Corsa III this time and put on 2CTs now.

Uncle Punk Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 No hole shots or wheelies for me. Do you have any idea how bad they are for tire mileage? This stupid tire eating bitch doesn't need me doing stupid shit to help it along with its tire eating appetite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason I made the move to sport touring tires a few years ago. I sacrifice a little grip, but less down time for tire changes.I got 6,500 on my last Pilot Road 2.

Uncle Punk Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I may try that at some point in time. I am worried about being used to having the grip of the street/track tires and then not having it with the sport touring tires on a sport bike. I won't be saving any money if I end up on my ear.Slowing down might be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I wasn't being sincere with that statement. If I'm going to be slowing down I will be going to some sort of touring bike instead of a sport bike. Anything but a cruiser or a Harley.

Tpoppa Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 At street operating temps, the PR2 has nearly the grip of the Corsa III I had previously. That difference would likely be more noticeable on a track.The biggest difference I felt was the turn in. The PR2 has a rounder profile, so a slower more deliberate turn in. I got used to it. Just mounted another PR2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yes..sarcasm was duly noted when I posted above.Tpoppa, you're asking me to take a leap of faith here..like the leap of faith I took going from clip ons to XB9 handlebars.I still need to order that rear.....hmmm.
