Bald tyres

Some people are nuts. This new CBR600 that parks near me has tyres that are
completely bald, so much that that the canvassy stuff is wearing through. Is
this guy asking to go under a bus or what?

 

There's nothing in the motorcycle licensing system that disallows
fuckwits.

Kind regards

Cool I might try it too. Why pay for new tyres when you don't have to?

Mmmmm, please do.

 

once upon a time, in a car park far far away, I saw a car with
something similar, both front tyres with tattered steel threads
hanging off, way past "bald".

After I'd seen it a couple of times, I left a note on the windscreen,
signed, calmly pointing out that the vehicle was a threat to every
road user, not least its driver, and casually mentioning that I would
make an effort to carry my pocket knife, to allow me, next time I saw
the car, to hack what was left of the tyres to pieces. Then I let all
the air out of one of the tyres.

Next time I saw it, it had two new tyres.

Keep riding on it.There must be at least 4mm of tread, 2 inches either side of the belt gash.
Dont you have curvy roads where you ride?

Looks like that tyre has spent a lot of time in the Top End

 

Yeah, I recently had the same problem - didn't quite make the trip!

*ouch*, wtf happened? did you spend 400 hours straight on a dyno? ;-)

The Pirelli I was using has no tread down the centre-line - near it, but
no on it. That mislead me into how dead the tyre actually was. Then
800k on it with a fairly well-loaded bike plus one digital camera, and
my incompetance is recorded for prosperity

Well, with writing like that, prosperity is likely to avoid me
completely! Obviously I meant posterity.

Sure you didn't mean 'posterior'? I usually do when I
make that error.

Maybe he/she is a kick-arse, dang-they-can-ride-shit-loads-better-than-me,
rider? Chill - your tyres have lotsa rubber obviously and no-one's got a
gun at your head asking you to ride this "other" bike with bald tyres.
Life is good, have beer, go for a ride - or maybe the other way around?
