Got in last night,2 hours later than expected.
Seems the rear tire had seen enough excitement! We had to put a rear tire on in Va. as it was down to a 100 miles to go with 300+ to complete the journey.The front made it with little too spare!
I was sitting down to eat lunch,looked out the window,and proceeded to run out side! Not good
The previous night I looked it over at the hotel and felt comfortable to make it home.
Advice here people-keep a close eye-I have seen many threads about such an occurance and now have my own story!
On a side note,if it had not rained for 2 days after the bash I was planning on getting at least a rear tire at wheelers before heading home. Again,hard to judge wear rate.
Thank god for credit cards(in this instance anyway???)We were down to 8$ at our last gas stop,like I said... it was a good vacation
This is the first time I had to change a tire in under 3,000 miles! Tire was at about 2,700 when changed.1,300 + less miles than the previous BT016(awesome tires!) That tire went over 200+ 4 times in a row(LSR loring 1 1/2mile) AND HAD AT LEAST TWICE THE HIGHWAY MILES! Now I can somewhat fathom/appreciate those 2,000 mile tire threads,...you guys are railing!
I guess the twisties affect the whole tire(heat) more than just the sides????
Anywhoo,Had a blast as usual,at the bash, and made a few more friends! Thanks to the .org and all you fellow fanatics out there.
Will post some pics in another thread, when we upload them.
