Tire wear

[baldo]

We just got home from Inzane Sat nite, 6409 miles round trip. Had a great time. While unloading my bike, I noticed that the front tire was worn unevenly. The right side was worn noticeably more than the left side, there was a ridge right of center.

We had literally 2000 miles of uninterrupted left lane travel at consistent speeds of 95+, the crown in the road appears to be the culprit. Tried to ride more in the right lane, but that's where the cars are!

The roads (Rte 90) in those western states were outstanding! Very clean and in great shape.

Montana was an excellent choice for Inzane this year.

However, you might be right in your analysis.

what kind of mileage you get at that speed baldo?  Running west on 90 in a stiff headwind on way to Mt Rushmore a few years ago I got 19 on the tank. After BigBF did his magic I got high 20's at that speed in West by God Texas (wind coming from every freakin direction at same time)   Got 31 on a tank averaging over 85 in Arizona right after leaving Phoenix

IMHO running between 3500 and 4000rpm and stopping between 130 - 150 miles for no more than 10 minutes (walk stretch piss drink gas up) I seem to make better time over a whole day of riding

If you are consistently riding 95+ miles per hour, you are probably passing everything on the road, so left lane was probably OK.

Hope you had a great time at Inzane - would have loved to been there and have a brew with you.
