George Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Now we need to see closeups of the tire wear from everyone (center and sides of front and back). This tells the tale of how the beast gets flogged, or doesn't ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMS42 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hmmmm I know there have to be other Harley riders out there....this is my latest baby. How about an old Harley! This is a picture of my dad on his new 1939 Harley. He bought it new when he was discharged from the Navy. He got out in Virginia and this picture was taken shortly after he got home in Belt, Montana. He said that it was a long, lonely ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little Michelin man and the tire direction arrows that are on the edge were gone. That picture was right after a track day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Just yankin' yer' chain a tad Bob! Anyone who wears the edges the same as the center is actually using their tires ;-) Most folks never lose the casting nubs anywhere but at the center of their tires I usta' run Michelin S-41's front and Goodyear KR-91's rear on my street RD-350's back in the day. The S-41 was a round profile tire and the KR-91 was a V profiled one. I actually wore the top of the tire marking off the sidewalls on all my S-41's from laying the KR-91 right onto it's fat edge in the sweepers. Pushin' the front a tad more than the rear kept the frame from bucking too bad on those danged bikes. Lotsa' motor, just enough brakes and no chassis whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNorth Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Sadly my current rear is starting to flat spot down the center. Too much interstate riding to work and no twisties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Flat spot in center = backmarker ;-) Seriously, back in the day, it was typical to size someone up by the wear areas on their tires, how scuffed the pegs and levers were and how many layers of duct tape was holding their toes inside the ground off boot tips. Everything on the bikes scraped pavement back then, the trick was to keep scraping it until you ground off a little more clearance ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken hebert Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 First pic: 2000 Honda RVT1000R RC51 and me taken at Texas World Speedway in College Station. Second pic: same bike, but with a nitrous tank mounted on the subframe as a joke! Got some very sideways glances that day as I rode it around town. Third pic: 2000 Honda VTR1000F Superhawk, with a few mods... Sadly, both are now gone. Wife isn't real fond of motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STInky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well....it's not my bike, but one that tried to run from me a couple years ago. The 18 year old rider decided he really didn't want a speeding ticket..... It was a Yamaha R1 1000 with some racing mods. The kid hadn't had it very long and wasn't able to handle that much power. Don't forget to check out the last photo. It is a pic of the box-truck this kid ran in to at approx. 130MPH. After impact he flew over the handlebars, through the roll-up door of the truck, and came to rest inside in the truck amongst all the boxes. In case you were wondering, he was wearing a helmut. This saved his life. He was air-lifted to the nearest trama center, where he was released the next day with no broken bones or internal injuries !!!
