TLZone Forums - View Single Post - new tires.... bike goes down!! DOH!

Scuffed mine in on the track and thought I had em good and done. Decided to try keeping up with Doug and went into a highside that sent me straight up thankfully because I came back down on the bike and it was a save. That was on my 600. Can't imagine trying to scrub in tires on a 1K in the colder weather.

Too bad about the foot. At least it should get better in time for the weather to get nice again.

A Kourier has to establish space on the pavement. Predictable law-abiding behaviour lulls drivers. They mentally assign you to a little box in the lane, assume you will stay there, can't handle it when you leave that little box.

Y.T. is not fond of boxes. Y.T. establishes her space on the pavement by zagging mightily from lane to lane, establishing a precedent of scary randomness. Keeps people on their toes, makes them react to her, instead of the other way round.
