Dicken's sider.

Then there's always DumbSiders = GenII owners

I resemble that remark!

It's Friday! Time to continue the madness.

For Howie I would say GeezerSider #1, but that may be an insult to Greg (the real Geezer)

How old do you have to be to get a Geezersider (or is it Cider?) number? I could maybe have a Fatsider # and a Geezersider # and a Dumbsider # (even tho I'm a Gen 1 owner). Woo hoo!

Thank God it is Friday! Can't take much more of this silliness!

Well this would make you either a BiSider or TriSider and you can be #1 with either I'm think'n

Use what you like as long as we all keep from becoming lowsiders or highsiders...

Auron: Interesting article. I too noticed that even at peg-scraping angles there was quite a bit of chicken strip the 190/55 whereas the 180/50 was absolutely to the edge. Subjectively, though, the bike feels completely stable in turns at speed with the PR3 regardless of lean angle, and certainly better in the rain.

See...if you go with the fattie tires, yer gonna have to work harder with belt sander to remove the virgin edge rubber.

I can see only one negative to fatsiding (190/55), and that being the added expense over the 180/55.

Wheaton, I plan to use the hand grinder I sharpen my mower blades with. I don't want any them effers at EOM thinking I can't ride.

I can think of another theoretical one - theoretically a wider tire is more prone to hydroplaning. Could be a concern for those riding goofy speeds in the rain. Theoretically...

Tru dat...I can't seem to get the chicken strips smaller than 1/2 inch....Makes it look like I ride like a girl....OOOpps...did I say that again ??!!

You're theoretically thinking too much into this theory.

Considering the roll of each tire, I don't think there is all that much more road contact to make any noticeable difference. BUT! ...go Miss Budweiser, win that Governors Cup!
