Has anyone seen a video before and after for the motorcycle tire/car tire

My 9 is the same way Chief. Its the way she looks at me as I'm crawling on the B.

My VTX is strapped down in the trailer...just not enough time to ride them both at the moment.

I put as wide of a car tire on my 109 that I could. Just wanted the bike to look cool. What I didn't know before I put it on was how it would handle. What I found out was when going in and out of my alley behind my garage where the road was severely rutted the bike tire would high side more than the stock tire. Other than that, after about 15 minutes trial, I found out how smooth of a ride it gave. After riding it for a while I tried some twisties that I was familiar with to see how it handled. On turns where I could power out of and break the stock tire loose on, I found that after numerous tries, I could NOT break this car tire loose, even though it was up on the "edge" of the tire. That tire was 11 1/4"wide. The bike would sit straight up without the kickstand being down. I could even sit with my feet on the pegs at a stop light if the road was level. That was the cool factor. I got the benefit of a significantly smoother ride, unbelievable traction and after 4 times the stock tire mileage, still looked good and cost $100.00 less than the Metzler to replace.
The car tire I put on the F6B is the one that Bob109 uses. I have no complaints with this tire. I will always run a car tire on the back of this bike. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks, Bob, for putting the information out there from your used car tire!

Some think that motorcycles are simply machinery... but inherently I do believe that they develop a "soul" through your use and care of it.

Don't let you infrequently ridden bike become "scorned"

+1 !

If you erroneously believe for a second that your bike doesn't talk to you - you simply are not listening properly.
Same goes with helicopters.

I would think that a helicopter would scream instead of talk.

When helicopters stop talking, point of maximum pucker is achieved.

They whisper, talk, complain, moan, tremble, and whine long before they scream.....

Seat cushion? What seat cushion?

Dang. Same ole - same ole that I read years ago when I put a Goodyear Triple Tread on my 03 VTX 1800C. Loved it, traction was incredible in the wet or dry. I guess some things, and topics, will never change.

I am of the opinion helmets and car tires mounted on motorcycles fall in the risk management category and discussing them never get old.
