    That is impressive, however the Goldwing engine "has never been touched"

    WHAT????

    How can he get 30,000 miles out of a rear tire? I have run the E3 on my Valk and best is 12,000. And 50,000 on the front? Best I can get is around 20,000. 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.

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

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