Candy red or gtfo

 

was thinking Cement or gtfo.. not sure if my painter friend can do heavy flake

 

Had a puncture recently, was time to replace the rear anyway, down to the belts... My bike was down for a bit, it's nice to have new rubber, even if the shakedown was like rollerblading on ice, still have a little release agent to wear off the ears but it's great to be in the saddle again.

By the way, continental may make a decent M/T but I was not at all a fan on their conti-milestones.

Now running Michelin Commander II like them much better so far, much more responsive and has better feedback with less noise.

Ignore the rat's nest garage...

 

im thinking full sport bike, ha. like a 1k even though i wouldnt need it

 

holy shit that is some serious center wear you got there lol

 

you would want a 1k over a 600 for the street no question lol

 

i used to have a 600. thought it was fine. i dont really need either of them lol.

 

850 torque monster for the street

 

cant argue with a naked. tuono anyone?

 

Yeah... I'll actually drag frame before my chicken strips max out, there's about a 1/4" of tread I can't touch.

Most wear though is from a couple of long distance road trips on this heavy bike. (670lbs wet no rider then add me and gear an extra 200lbs or so.) Were talking a few +1000 miles in a day type trips. Only been 2up a handful of times.

That said the tire wore out WAY too quickly for not ever doing any hot rodding unless you count hard engine braking on tail. The wear was the main reason I switched out the conti's. Well, that and to run a tire with a pattern that doesn't look like it belongs on the side of something from the 90's.

 

Meh, would rather go with a new V-Maxx.

 

Nahhhh

 

SW motech crashbars, moose tall windshield, happy trails panniers, Eagle Mike fork stabilizer, dropped Acerbis front fender, custom front LED mount, ADVmonster fogs, and of course I did my Doohickey.

.....And a Wolo Bad Boy air horn for correcting cage rider behavior

 

hump day?

 

Yuh

 

Michelin Commander II's are great tires,I'm on my second set ,my first set went 25000 miles and weren't worn like our old set , but they are not great in wet conditions

 

looking for bikes is tiring @AR15xAR10

 

Buying a WR250 and no longer being a lil betch is easy <3
