Hmmm...well...yeah.Sometimes.Got my new BT003 on the front today.SWEET tire....I'm hooked.(back's a BT003 as well).
But that's not this post.Anyway...I'm coming back from East Glacier park this afternoon.Up ahead....3 harleys.I pull in behind em.As usual.They're just cruisin along...as usual.Bout this time,the right lane opens up....okay.They start pullin over into it(as usual).That last guy,ya...he starts gassin it (kinda).WHOOOOPS!....OFF flies the DO-RAG!!!!(remember that post ya'll?)Geez...what's a brother to do.He couldn't catch it in time.Kept on goin.
Well shit....We can't have em losin there identity now...can we.Ya...you guessed it...the Jap Crap ridin rice burner guy HAS to turn around and "rescue" his precious.Blast on back...maybe a 1/4 mile or so.Stop on the median.Pick up his prized possession.Yup.Back in the saddle...BLAZIN on up to catch em.They got a pretty good drop on me...but I managed to catch em just as they were gettin ready to turn right.Pulled up alongside there,pulled that puppy outta my pocket there....'it's a handoff'...."Thanks Man".
My 'good deed' to the Do-Raggers today.
Now...back to the tires.AWESOME...I won't be using anything else for a good while.These things are vicious!If ya like sticky buns....these are yer huckleberries!BTW...you know how I've posted about "wiggle" during high speed cornering and leaning?That's GONE.I'd say IF you begin to get what I had.....time for a new front at least.Had tread still left on that Angel ST....but now I'm pretty sure she had been slippin....that's what was goin on...NOT my suspension.Just thought I'd pass that along if anyone's may be interested.Ride safe all.(just about have the front tire sides scrubbed all the way to the sidewall.That's a first right there! )
Probably should have posted this in Pictures...but,what the heck...today's ride..the Continental Divide(the real one)
Btw...the ONLY chain lube that actually STAYS were I put it is Maxima Chain Wax.Put it on warm.Let sit overnight.PERFECTO.Virtually NOTHING flinging ever.(good stuff).I tried several...Bel-Ray's the WORST!!!Maxima Chain Guard is not much better.Silkolene is good,but it will fling,just not near as bad as those other two.Sheesh.Amazing thing though...those others clearly say"will not fling off"...how the heck can they print that crap?!!!!Completely.....WRONG.
