I plan on doing TeliMena ride tomorrow. I will be leaving from the Starbucks in Allen at Bethany & 75. KSU 7:45
I'll check this post before leaving the house to make sure I'm not waiting on anybody.

Today's ride was fun! all the way until up until my back tire wore out! When I stopped for lunch in Mena I noticed the tire was showing threads, So I slowed down and took it easy but it went flat just out side of Paris. I want to thank Woody for letting my friend pickup his trailer!  The bike is back at the house now sitting on the lift waiting for the wheel to be removed and the tire changed. So, The $94.00 tire was not worth it, it only went 3250 miles! |

That minus symbol pretty much says it all about that tire.

Yep. It looks pretty flat on the bottom to me too.

Les,
You need more ass or less throttle. These things do not have traction control. Didn't the same thing happen to you coming to the GOTF last year?

not quite, at GOTF it was showing threads in a small section, and that tire had like 8k miles on it. and I didn't ride it until it went flat. |

Hmmm. I don't see it either. Must have used his 'Droid' phone.  |

So, The $94.00 tire was not worth it, it only went 3250 miles! Just out of curiosity, and I have no intention of putting a MC tire on when a CT goes 25-30K, what brand was the tire so I can warn riders away from it? |

Sorry, I put those details in the 1800 Tech board post, It's a Continental ContiMotion. |
