first run with the new rubber
ok, so I took into consideration all that you guys preached. in order to put miles on the tires, you actually need to put miles on the tires.
I drove to work this morning (fucking shit it was 41 degrees) and the tires were cold and felt....greasy. thats the only explanation I can give. It feels greasy. Not oily- slippery. Greasy.
After work I went to my favorite haunt and spent about 45 minutes each, taking the roads at about 30%. I was driving about 15mph under what I normally do and each time I could feel the bike slipping a little for each turn. A little lower, a little slip.
But then the next turn with the same angle, it was fine. Its going to be scary as shit for the deep fast turns though. Or switch backs.
As always, I will continue to be careful.
Also, even though it was the exact same tire as last time, its like fucking your girlfriends twin sister- she may look the same, but she don't act the same.
tires are already reacting differently, even better, and they aren't even broken in all the way!
and I ran out of gas again but a border patrol agent came by and filled my tank....for a blow job.

Yeah they will feel greasy not oily. You get that same greasy feeling also when you overheat your tires racing.
