I said I would never do it, but...........

Mind boggling the passion. Almost like they are salesmen for Metzler

Religion and politics doesn't cause this much malevolence!!

We checked. 34psi. Said he keeps it at 32-34 all the time.
Got another one?
Front tyre was shot too - after 3,500km.
He also said the bike handled like a pig.
Maybe he holds his head the wrong way.

@CanberraR3 he is just someone who does not like riding pigs

There is nothing wrong with him, he just had to stick his finger in his eye before he realized it would hurt

Not bad as some people have to do it more then once before they figure it out!!!!

Good evidence, Richard.
I shall be interested in the responses.
However, one tire does NOT proof make.
I would like to see others that appear to wear the same.

I had a BrakeAway throttle lock that was mounted on one of my old VTX 1800s when I purchased the bike. Tried it two or three times and determined very quickly that it was a worthless and, yes, very dangerous, $180 POS and never, ever used it again.

The clip-on Throttle Rocker/Crampbuster is OK for folks with nerve or muscle problems in their right hands or as a cheap and easy way to rest your left hand, but I'm a big believer of always having your hands on or at the grips/controls and at the ready 100% of the time, so I wouldn't bother with them either.

Im confused mate, are you saying the throttle hand in the States is on the left bar ?

These were tires that were worn onto the sidewall in similar fashion?

YES

 

[IMFASTTOO]

THERE is very little rubber on the sidewalls and its obvious its not designed to be used on motorcycles

We've all seen bald tyres, but that one is most definitely not a tyre that has worn out. It's just so clearly and completely the wrong piece of equipment to fit to a motorcycle. The evangelists can cry all they want (get some tissues @STRIPES ) but this is irrefutable, un-doctored, objective, real life evidence. Yes, it is one tyre but not the only one I've seen like it; just the only picture I've taken……so far.
