riding with a bald tyre will get your hot girlfriend pregnant.
Whats your address?
Reactor Online. Sensors Online. Weapons Online. All Systems Nominal.
So have you sorted it
if not what size is it?

Knowledge is realizing that the street is one-way, wisdom is looking both directions anyway
On Tuesday in the wet I had a huge moment on a worn tyre.
Ironically I was on my way to the bike store to get a new set fitted.
The rear was down to the treadwear markers, got 11,000km out of it which for a fairly sticky sports tyre seemed pretty good (Metzler M3).
So anyway - I'm moving across to the left lane of the motorway to exit when all I see all the traffic ahead in my lane slowing rapidly.
The left lane is empty.
Just as I indicate and start pulling into the lane I see a guy coming up the left lane at a massive rate of knots.
Click down into second, wind on the gas, no more than I usually do and suddenly the rear breaks free and I'm drifting up the motorway.
The revs are whipping up the dial, the speedo is hardly moving, back end trying to come and see whats happening up front.
Fortunately I avoid a highside and the bike grips, bucks, snorts and shoots forwards.
Successfully up the bike shop, new rubber fitted and normal grip restored.
If everything is working properly tyres should be the only part of your bike touching the ground.
Check your pressures
Check the condition of the tyre.
Don't ride on worn out rubber, it could make the difference between getting there in one piece of being loaded into an ambulance / hearse.
had lots of fun to and from cold kiwi.....
bike gained heaps of power,
arse broke out everywhere....
Guy at garage laughed his head off 2 days later when I went for WOF....
Rear tyre...?
Oops.......
lucky...
(12000 km's)
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
Absolutely - he asked for worst case - that's what he was given.
I've ridden a big bore down to the canvas and done 1/2 a Coro Loop on it - I didn't die. Had a couple of slidie moments but that was cranked over on the edge leaving black crayon marks.... got 1200kms out of that tyre
Had to trailer it to Boyds the following day for a new tyre. Of interest is that once down to the cords a Battlax is about 1mm thick....
Saw a Kwak14 in Hamilton the other day with full canvas showing on the centre of the tyre - as it blasted past at warp factor on Cobham Drive. He didn't appear to be dying either.
The tyre on the rear of my bike has just managed to hit the wear indicators. Seems like I should fork out for a new one.
