Christmas Riding / Stagecoach

[101stpathfinder]

Ok, so I had some time off and starting riding some Florida roads (For a change)

I rode through Christmas (Literally)

Not without problems though, as my cycle was nearly eaten.

I finally hit threads on my rear tire with 23.4k on it.

Then came Stagecoach… and rain. With Jim (fljab)

More rain…

About 2.5k over a 4 day period.

...you can't leave us hanging with cord showing Tony. Did you get the "spare tire" changed?

23.4k...wow! I hope I can get somewhere even close to that with my PR4's. I'm guessing hole shots were not in this tire's life cycle?

24k is two sets for me.

I knew the tire was in its last miles, so I carried a spare and stopped by Jims the day before Stagecoach and changed it out.

The most I have ever gotten is 18k, this was a "Super" tire that was mounted in Albuquerque prior to the IBR at HRZ's house and received a

"Blessing" from his neighbor before the rally. The miles were not easy miles, but I imagine dirt roads kept the wear down.

…and PR4s will not give you the same wear, or so I have heard.

24k are 3-4 sets for me.
And not a single wheelie or holeshot either...

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for an '05 - especially one with a ton of miles on it. Well done, sir.

Looks like fun.

Wish I could have made stagecoach and met up with yall.

In my opinion, "Streets" the night prior makes the ride worth it.

And not a single wheelie or bloodshot either...

+1 and 5 or 6 sets for a lot of guys around here

Good report Tony, with all the slabing you do isn't it time to go to the darkside? 30-40,000 miles on one tire would be mighty nice!

Sorry to have missed you and fljab at Stagecoach, but 12 hours is the rain is not for me. Maybe for nutcases like you two, I guess ...

Is that the parking lot at lunchtime?!?!? Thirty bikes? Looks like a lot of other people bailed, too.
