You da man, Spook. Interesting comment about how SoCal's been riding for decades. Is there anybody here that HASN'T BEEN RIDING FOR DECADES? Good grief, most of us are older than dirt. I got my first bike in '67. Today I was cranking along on my favorite section of curvy roads (there are a couple around here). I was noticing how sweet my FJR transitions from left to right to left to right. I love the way it handles. As a matter of fact, I love the way it does everything. I remember so many bikes I had in the past, and how i was always wishing that they could do this or didn't do that. No such issues with the FJR.Don't let the door hit you in the ass, Might break your noseHas anyone asked ANY motorcycle manufacturer if putting a ridgid car tire on the back of a motorcycle is a good idea and stable for the bike??
If car tires were good for motorcycles why don't the manufacturers put them on?? They'd get much better mileage and could use that as a sales promotion. They design these bikes, they know what handles best.
If car tires handled good they would use them.
Showing a guy leaned over on a bike with a car tire doesn't mean it's stable, it only means he leaned over.
I've been riding for decades maybe longer than some of the "experts" here, I was trying to do the guy that did this a favor by pointing it out that it was a bad idea to put a car tire on the back of a bike. I was met with name calling by Scootertrash a Admin of all people.
I'm done and out of this ridiculous thread!
