Is this what new tires do?

[damnpoor]

I've heard about "scrubbing in" a new set of tires but I've never had to do it myself. I guess this is why, huh?

to actually answer your question...

Yes new tires + new rider + 1000cc bike Usually = stupid crash...

Tires were probably new and also cold. If your're going to try to show off to your firends then make sure you know what your doing!

I don't know how he did that. It didn't sound like he gassed it or did anything to make it go down. Inexperienced rider, I guess.

On the other hand he was wearing full gear, so as foolish as he was, he ain't dumb.

I just read the same thing on another forum I visit on occasion. Guy says he was returning a video and made a right turn about 1/2 mile from home and next thing he knows his bike is sliding down the street. New rider, first bike and he gets a Kawi ZX10 :squid:. With the weather getting cooler, make sure you warm up those tires. Cold pavement in the morning and evenings means it takes longer to warm those tires up and can also suck the heat out if you're riding slow.

Everyone be careful and ride safe.
