10,000 mile goal reached, about 18:05 last night....never leave home without a camera
Congrats!
Come to think of it, I wonder how I'm doing. I started this year with 46k on the clock, and I passed 50k quite some time back........
Right on buddy
How many tires did you go through on that 10k?

Just the ones I had on since 2012....the rear now has 22,865, and the front one I changed at 18,099, before Drift-In because I knew I was going to be abusing it. Here are pictures of both tires, as of about 1/2 hour ago. The rear still measures just under 4/32, but I'm replacing it over the winter...
Have anyone of the members ever had a blow out on one of the rear or front tires? If so how horid was the damage... I imagine a blowout on the rear of a drifter would not only be scary but catastrophic to the rear fender, saddle bags, passenger seat ect. My budfy had a rear tire blow on his plastic crotch rocket an the whole ass end of the bike was destroyed fender rear seat taillight setup license bracket an turn signals all destroyed
I had a flat on the rear, but it wasn't very noteworthy at all really. This last spring I was riding through horse country and suddenly I heard a ticking from the rear. I pulled over to look for the problem, but there was nothing. Knowing that there may be more to this, I rode a mile up the road to a bar and grill and had some lunch. Good thing I did, because when I came out, the rear was flat. Called a flatbed and brought her home. Not too exciting, but then again, that kind of excitement is highly over rated!
With a tube in a tubeless tire, blowouts are very rare. Flats are usually not the blowout sort.
