- From: roadwolf55

Description:
i have been away for several days. work, some ot. friday nite highschool foootball games and saturday collage football games and ot.(xmas is coming). i believe that it is going to take several day just to get caught up with all the things i have missed here.
went for a little ride on my bike today. the 1st one in several weeks. it has been mostly not so good weather here(PA.) rain and cold. with the days getting shorter, its dark when i leave work for home. i dont like riding when its dark. its 45mi. home. even worse its rutting season for whitetail here and they are all over the place. not a good mix. bike vs. deer. the ride was good. i miss summer already. cant wait until next year. i still will try to get out every chance i can. even if its to go around the block when the temp is 20F.
it is amazing on how much still goes on here at CCC even when you are not here. CCC is still a good place to be. its nice to see alot of new members joining in. and real nice to see the regulars still hanging on. i know it has been only a week, but it seems longer. to all ride safe and enjoy all that you have. THANKS TRACY

Motorcycle Tires: TOP 10 TIRE
- From: twest137
-
Description:
1. Air It Out: Check tire pressure every chance you get. There's probably no simpler procedure that's more important and more ignored by bikers of every stripe. The air, not the carcass, supports the bike, and underinflation is a tire's number one enemy. (Make sure the tires are cool when you take the reading.) For a better tractrion in wet conditions, increase pressures by about 10 percent. Unsure of what the pressure is supposed to be? Look for a sticker somewhre on the bike. It is also probably on the VIN (serial number) plate hear the steering head with the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and gross axle weight ratings (GAWR) information.
2. Step in Line: Pay close attention to alignment--shaft drive bikes have no adjustment, but if you have a chain or belt, check the position of your tires. Proper alignment ensures better handling and longer wear.
3. Steady, Now: Although it primarily affects handling, improper balance can also shorten a tire's life. Check it after 500 or 1000 miles of use.
4. Top It Off: The valve stem cap should be securely fastened on the stem, because it's an important part of your tire's sealing system. It'll give you extra security at high speeds, when centrifugal force can conspire to open the valve inside the stem.
5. Soap It Up: Most tire manufacturers recommend that the only substance used to keep rubber shiny should be good old soap and water. Many alleged protectants actually promote premature cracking and finish deterioration. Make sure you wipe off any lube, brake fluid or gas promptly, too.
6. Look Before You Crank: Before you saddle up, take a moment to visually inspect your tires. We can't tell you how many times we've pulled out screws or nails before a ride, thus preventing almost certain tire failure. Once you're on the road, it'll be too late. 7. Stay Smooth: This is common sense--avoid potholes and sharp objects on the road that can compromise your tire's integrity. The same goes for curbs.
8. Don't Mix and Match: Never run two tires of differing construction. We can't stress this enough, and this rule applies to bias-plies vs. radials as well as tubeless and tube-type tires--even bias-ply vs. bias-belted tires. The results can be disastrous.
9. Scuff 'Em Up: Optimal grip is obtained only after the tread surface has been ridden on, so go into those first few twisties with a bit of caution. The suggested break-in distance is usually 100 or so miles. After that, check the tire's pressure again!
10. Don't Scrimp: If you replace your tires, make sure you replace the tubes, too. Some manufacturers even recommend that you change both tires at the same time, even if they wear differently.
Keep it upright and ride it like you mean it!
