Maybe it's a sign

More tires?
My last crash may have been tire related.

I really think it was a ham fisted moment.

You can apply more ham to better tires...

I never really felt comfortable on that bike.

I still miss the season long tire life, and running all day on 2 or 3 gallons of gas.

I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems to take a lot of effort to ride the 900 fast, or as fast as I can get it to go.  I was surprised I got it to spin up the Power Pure.  So much for the cheap tire routine.

I think that's the chassis you have. It gets harder as you go faster.

The SBK chassis gets easier as you go faster, and are real trucks at slower speed...at least that vintage.

I spun the 750 up with a race tire in 12.

It isn't hard if you do it wrong. :P

It turns out that a bunch of trees will need to be cut to get sun in the sunroom.

Oh well...I'll sell the logs. ;)
