Pleas provide proof that tire age caused the failure.

I suggest checking the speed rating on the tires before you make another highway run. Many of the smaller tires only good to about 60 miles per hour. (Thats a "J" rating.)

Murder? For what? They didn't run him over. The guy in the SUV did. The SUV Driver is fine now... I'm not sure if it's federal or state law, so this may not apply in all states, but if a death occurs during the commission of a crime, the offender can be charged with murder. Not sure if it's murder or homicide or some other legal term, I'm no lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last nite!  If someone dies in the commission of a felony, anyone involved in that felony is guilty of murder, usually first-degree. This HAS BEEN used to charge people who have tried to rob people and had their accomplice killed! |

The idiot on the bike did a "swoop and squat". The pack of feral animals then attacked. Again: this video is the best argument I have ever seen for legalizing sawed-off shotguns!

On the contrary! It's a good thing he survived, and has to live out the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He has time to think about how he wasted his mobility and good health on a stupid stupid stunt designed only to glorify himself and his abilities. Good! THAT'S JUSTICE. death would've been too easy on him. If he dies, then the rest of the bikers get murder one! |

Comparing a 3-4 year old tire to a THIRTY year old tire is just flat-out STUPID!

Again: following that logic, why don't you replace your tires every year? Newer tires are better, right?

OK...I ordered them Monday. They shipped Monday. It is now Thursday. They were sent Priority Mail...but I guess it must be Low Priority Mail!
(Note: I'm not blaming Scrappydog, I'm just damned sick of "Priority" mail being slower than sending something truck freight!)

Dude (aka Jarlaxle) leave it already. You are not in the area of best practices here. We have all done things in the past that were unsafe and lived through it. That in no way means it's a good idea. If you can't wear out a set of tires on a motorcycle every year just sell the freaking thing. If you want to run old tires on your car, truck, trailer or whatever, do it. If you can with clear conscience recommend people do that on their bikes that is irresponsible at best. When you have a tire fail on a car you pull over and put the spare on. It's a much bigger (or more deadly) event if it happens on a bike. Leave this alone already. Regardless of what you or your dad or cousin or cousin's sister's boyfriend's mom did, running old tires on a bike is unwise. You should not recommend any one do it. I'm not sure why you are... I haven't. I was and am simply pointing out to the Chicken Littles that the sky is NOT falling! |

Is Arlington, Texas far enough south? My father in law ran the 2012 Power Tour in his Trans Am...had no trouble with his 8+ year old front tires, even during a 10+ mile high-speed run in  degree heat in that 4000lb car. (The tires are still on the car, though they will be replaced due to wear before next year's Tour.) Following your logic, you should replace your tires every year. You keep trolling with that one even though the answer hasn't changed. You dad rolled the dice and did not come up snake eyes and should count his blessings. People are not always that lucky. I have pretty consistantly said past 5 years you are taking a chance and are pushing it. Not once did I endorce or imply an annual change. Once I mentioned that I had three year old tires that were constantly run here fail even thought they looked new with plenty of tread on them. There are many high risk activities that you can endorse and engage in with the simple truth being that eventually you will get bit and won't continue to get away with it. Again: following that logic, why don't you replace your tires every year? |

Parts (WP rebuild kit and an impeller) ordered from Scraappydog. I like $24 a lot better than $140!
