An article worth saving and rereading. In fact, I’ll print it out on paper to read at my leisure. Thanks.

About chicken strips: I’ve never considered myself an aggressive rider; quite the contrary in fact. Yet, many years ago, I discovered that the outer edges of my front tire, in particular, were worn smooth while the center strip was almost like new. A few years ago, my son, after following me on his Yamaha, said that he was surprised that the old man leaned so far over on my ’74 MotoGuzzi Eldorado. I guess the old “Goose” just likes to carve up those twisties.

I guess the point is to ride comfortably within your capabilities, but don’t push the limits.

I slow down in the rain but have gone through water that has offered resistence, it was not hydrplaning which I have done in a car. Put new rubber on at 14K miles and the rear tire was sliding in curves, tread was mostly gone. Used the Dunlop 404′s replaced after 14K miles. Now have nice new safe ride.

I have read so much about going dark side and it’s easly cut and dry for a crusier’s back tire go for it, the only people that are against it don’t read and understand.

The math at the botton of this page is soo far off; wow 45 MPH and your “hydropoaneing” I have always heard it starts at 60. Some common sense now.
