Creative Riding Episode 178 “TIRED of the MPC”
Welcome to episode 178
On today’s show we talk about Tires
What is tire wear and what should it be? A quick internet search will bring up two magic numbers… 3,700 and 1,800. Those are the numbers that RideApart.com claims as the miles that your front and rear tire should be replaced at, respectively. In my opinion, that is utter bullshine! Yet these numbers are repeated ad nauseum across the internet by other sources who don’t have their own opinion or are too lazy to do the research. We talk with MPC winner (for Creative Riding) Bri Van Morrison Abernathy Artemus Maximus Vifferious about tires that he has used over the years on his 200,000+ mile VFR750F. Jae also weighs in, as her MPC was cut short due to a tire ‘cording’ .
After the break we’ll get into some MPC data. The 2019 Motorcycle Podcasters Challenge has come to a close and the results are in. How did Creative Riding do and where do we stand? Are we still friends? Find out. No, I mean YOU find out. I don’t have time to research it. Thank you for finding out.
Among our fabulous mile-munching crew there were several bikes taken out along the way. First was Nerissa’s brand new Harley. So we kind of knew it was gonna break down. 😛 Then Chad’s Ducati took a dive due to moisture of all things. Bri Viffer’s V-Max also had some brief issues, and to wrap it up, Jae’s tire wear wasn’t the main thing that took her out of competition.
After break two we come back to talk racing and fun stuff. We’ll touch on Roger Hayden’s return to flat track, some new from the soggy and invisible roads on the Isle of Man, and much much more. Stick around.
