Have fun boys.
School holidays just starting, and we're working all week, so am taking the rugrat out today to try and kill off some of the boredom she'll accrue over the next 2 weeks.
:rockon:
Yikes, sounds crazy!
Yup...Michelin tires just don't like to warm up for more than a gentle ride on a cold road. Been riding for ages, so they should have been warm, and gave a little bit out of a turn (half expecting it to step out) and it doesn't squirm...it doesn't wiggle....it just lets go completely.
Scared the carp outta me the first time. The second time was a little more expected, but still not good for the ticky-ticker. The third time I just rolled my eyes and kept riding, and the next two times I didn't pay much attention at all.
When it lets go completely and utterly like it does, the only answer is to back off a fair bit, steer into the slide a smidgeon (to keep the front wheel closer to being in line when the the rear hooks up again), stand up a little and move over to an off balanced position, so that when it hooks up, it doesn't unbalance you, but instead puts you back on-balance again, and loosen up at the hips as much as you can while gripping with your legs.
This is not something you can really plan for. It's more a reflex action from all sorts of BMX accidents, and dirt bike carnage...lol. To this day I've still not been high sided:cheer: (although there was this one time...at band camp....where I ended up doing a hand stand on the bars teetering between falling over the front and back onto the seat for about 40 metres at 80 km/h. Fortunately I fell back onto the seat, and the only damage to me was bruised shins from me gripping anything I could with my shins on the way back down so I wouldn't mash my family jewels on the tank...lol)
And as soon as I hit the seat that throttle was smashed wide open again...lol.:rockon: Really impressed the guy on the 250 who was trying to catch me on the little 100 I was riding...lol.
I'm waiting until they're used up to post my opinion of the Power Pures. It won't be scathing, but it won't be great either. Going back to Bridgestones. Might splurge and get me another set of BT003's. Love the 003's:rockon:.
Bloody great tyres! Ride up walls stuff!
Gonna rain Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I can feel it in my old aching bones...lol.
I dont care, i am going riding regardless, need to put some serious kilometre's on my bike's...I have been way too soft recently...
:thumbup:

Funny you should mention it, but I've got to go to the Strath Markets, on Sunday to pick up a parcel (secret men's business...lol):BLAA:
So you could probably twist my arm.
