Which means a Pants trip report soon.
Luckily we have a few good days here and there so I get to do day rides. Weather still a bit iffy for multi day trips. At least to the places I want to go.

On your last run you came within a block of my house. I was about one day post umbilical hernia surgery. I couldn't even walk out to the road and wave.bill lumberg wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 8:00 pm Jonesing for clean, dry, above freezing mountains aside, I’m kind of jonesing for a Key West run, with the DanH Okeechobee routing. I just hate paying $3-500 for a hotel for a few hours sleep at the turnaround.
The Roadsmart 3's are a legitimate 10k tire if you don't tear it up every day.
No 17" front is available. There is a 170/60-17 rear. (At least from what I see on the Dunlop website.)
I got 4,800 mi. on mine and it was at the wear bars. Front had tread, but was lumpy and felt horrible. You can't ride an FJR without enjoying powering out of corners, or riding a little aggressively. I know I can't. I know they don't make Trailmax's to fit the FJR, but, it would beFJRPittsburgh wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 11:20 pmThe Roadsmart 3's are a legitimate 10k tire if you don't tear it up every day.
Sure you can, I do it all the time. It's actually pretty easy to not power out of corners when you don't have any corners.
Come to the southren Appalachians my friend. There are plenty of twisty roads and sweepers that will challenge you with the appropriate high rev and high torque situations on your FJR that will define aggressive.gixxerjasen wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 11:05 amSure you can, I do it all the time.

I've gotten way more miles out of my FJR's ST tires than I have out of the missions on my KTM. Course, the KTM does have a bit more oomph than the FJR and the V-Twin delivers it in a much more aggressive manner.
