Okay, this is not about what type, size, brand or any of the other issues in tire threads.
This one is to let you see what can happen to your riding style after a get off.
I never expected to have this happen to me and even though I am embarrassed to do this, I think it might help anyone else who may have the same happen to them and to tell them I know how they feel.
The following pictures are of my original tires that came on the replacement bike I recently purchased after my low side accident which totaled my first ride, DOT.
Note about me before the accident.
I was getting very comfortable in the twisties of Socal, specifically the San Diego area and even though my confidence would be up or down from one time to the next, I always seem to do okay leaning over and getting off the bike on both sides.
The tires show that I have now become very one-sided on the confidence level of turns.
I think you can see for yourself which side I am not as comfortable with.
Note on the tires:
These tires only have 2700 miles on them and have never seen a twistie road EVER! This is all street riding, going to work daily only.
I really need to get more saddle time in the curves and build that confidence level up again.
Thanks for the ear, here are the pics
