On our trip my tire never gave me any indication it was worn to the cord. If Kathy had not of noticed it I would have tried to make the last 300 miles home.

Reminded me of TCBham's tire in Maggie Valley last year. I could see from behind him how bad his tire looked...don't think he felt it.

He could not get the same tires he had on the bike...but he was able to get one to get home.

I rode this bike from my trailer to the driveway (100') and then up my driveway to the garage (100') I didn't think I was going to make it!

It is a tire like that that someone will ride down Int 95 at 80 mph for a few hundred miles and nothing will happen.

If you have ever looked at tires on bikes and cages in a rest area....you would quit driving on that road

With the unique tires on the F&R of the SERK3&4, I would order the tire well in advance if changing on the road.  The last time I needed one it took 4 weeks.  I now keep a set in my house.  I can always get it overnighted in an emergency.

Being that mine went bad on a Friday night I could not get it delivered till Monday.

Had a friend bring me my spare to Maryland.

Got the tire changed on Sunday morning and home the dame day.

Only cost me....Fuel....hotel room....Flat track race tickets.....more fuel.......but we made it home on Sunday :2vrolijk_21:
