Your first two posts on that thread were great! You did a very nice job of explaining how you were riding and what you liked/disliked, and what you had tried.
But in truth, you were also saying you only had 1600 miles on the tires. Sure, enough to get a good feel for them, but no telling on wear, which you agreed, was still unknown.
You baffled me on the low front tire pressure for someone that is riding to the edge of your tires and pushing HARD, as you said, in the corners. And you choose to defend that by stating the Yamaha recommended tire pressure.
5500 miles on the EXPs and they last longer than other tires have on other bikes. Ok. I got ~6200 from my EXPs. But I usually get far more from tires and was seeing twice that on the K60s. That left me thinking that if I only got 6200 or so and you're getting 5500, that you might actually like the mileage you get from some other tires. it's pretty well understood that lower pressures will cause tires to wear faster. Reporting that you can really get the TCS light "strobing" on hard corner exits and saying that didn't happen on the EXP sounds a little odd to me too. As did your opinion of the EXPs having good wet traction. In the wet, in TX, is where I experienced the worst of wet traction issues with the EXPs. Slipping at steady speed on mild corners to the point that I thought I had a flat tire. Apply enough throttle and you're going to start spinning the wheel. All you're doing is wearing it out faster when the TCS is flashing.
Telling the forum that you can ride 85-95 and not have issues with the police might be true for your little area, but not for all of TX. It's well known in the LD community to watch your speed in TX or risk getting cited for 2-3 over. You probably noticed, TX is a big state. And I do know people that got tickets for 2-3 over. I wasn't there, so can't honestly say if something else happened, but there is enough people reporting this that it's not a fluke or one guy's bad attitude.
We have had different experiences. Some vastly. To be honest, I don't get what you do, and you don't get what I do. I ride to go places. Sometimes that means farther away and riding more hours in a day than you seem to find appealing. I don't see the appeal in riding hard in the twisties. Or group riding. I've done both. I can hide hard, but I'm not looking for an adrenaline rush or trying to see how fast I can take a corner, that's not what I enjoy about riding. And I'm not saying that's what or all you enjoy, just that we're different.
Still not paying attention, is he?
