I have just over 11,000 on my F6B and already need a new rear tire. I do not use the rear brake very much except when REALLY needed. Could it be the acceleration ? I mean, I make the bike go, I don't wuss around with it but I am not drag racing it either. Just don't know how he gets that kind of mileage out of tires.
    Darksider?

    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    i average 175 miles per day monday thru friday and another 100 over the weekend. It's fun riding. Just got to get over the whole "rain" stigma. People always freak out when they see a bike in the rain. But as long as you ride safe, the rain is a non-issue. Just buy good gear.

    I never got more than 7500 out of a rear tire, the ONLY way to get 30K is to go to the darkside.
