Proper Tire "Scrubbing" isn't scrubbing at all

[KokomoBusa]

"First off, Knoche quickly dispatched the old wives' tale that the surface of the tire needs to be scuffed or roughed up to offer grip."

secondly Knoche is talking about on a race track without any fancy lines or cross walk markings....take a new tire to one of those and tell me is doesn't need to be scuffed/broken in

Good read but remember how many posts there were about new 08 Busa owners not making it a mile from the dealer before their new beauty just washed out from underneath them? Think I'll continue to take it easy when sportin new rubber just to be on the safe side.

Was that b/c of the tires or the riders? ???

The real question is: was that b/c of the rider or the rider?
