No matter how much I try even just screwing around in a parking lot, I can't get that front tire any farther. I also just got this bike a month ago and Im still getting used to it. I used the whole tire on my old 600rr.

Not the best pic, but I think I got it all the way over. Tire had 5000 miles on it at this point. New BT-016's just got spooned on last weekend.

dave... looks like your wasting some bt002 that where run in "c" class on the street. i can't think of a good canyon road out your way thats worth running take offs....bear creek and skyline's to far away from you.

10-09-2011, 05:10 PM

Here is mine... These tires are about 1 month old. (I've been away for work so only about 300 miles on them)

It's dark out side so the front tire pic didn't come out so well....

That was from my day grandmaing around the track at Buttonwillow. I swear I left with more rubber than I started with.

I swear I left with more rubber than I started with It does look like you got a little extra rubber there[cool]

Buttonwillow... why not laguna?

dave_xb12r

10-09-2011, 05:47 PM

Laguna is something like $300 for a track day. I got 2 track days passes for $150 at buttonwillow. It was "meh". I'd rather be hitting big sur hard than going nowhere on a track.

Not near the edge yet, but i still feel heroic for a short wheelbase bike with a 180. [smirk]

irrelevant since if you don't keep it up the "chicken strips" will return.

10-10-2011, 10:27 AM

We could do that. Where do you live? I've got a bueller friend in San Mateo. How far are you from Holister? I've also been meaning to do skyline road.

squidbuellie

10-10-2011, 10:45 AM

Took these today after hitting the twisties!!, rear doesn't really have much, and front are pretty thin to... I need new tires however...

dave_xb12r

10-10-2011, 02:12 PM

^^^ ok that's not right. Under inflated?

iman501

10-10-2011, 02:22 PM

Lol yea they were for a bit, I'm bad about checking tire pressure unless I know I'm going riding in a quick paced manor

dave_xb12r

10-10-2011, 02:26 PM

Haha.. I knew something was up. That's dragging handlebar status. :D

not bad for being a new tire that hasn't been thrown around in corners yet.(about an 1/8 of an inch)

thanks dave for honking the b.s horn

^^^ ok that's not right. Under inflated?
looks like your running 20 psi in them. i have p-2 on my camo bike. and if i ran them out like that my front would wash out. they are just to hard of tires.
and just a heads up guys if your running down in the 3/8-1/4 inch area and your running "s" pegs you are touching your curb feelers. unless your running low air presser.

Just touching the top of the 2ct on the front
http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i118/Nirvana12211990/5ae17b81.jpg
Rear is about 1/32inch from the edge on the right and non existant on the left :D
http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i118/Nirvana12211990/4b8b1361.jpg
Unfortunately I'm about an inch from the edge on most days but when it gets nice and warm and I'm not just going to and from work I can get down there
