I saw a guy pull in at the gas station air hose. His tire was damn near flat hot and smoking. He said. “I just put 90lbs in the sob last night”

Pulled up next to a motorcycle cruiser yesterday in traffic. I happened to look down the rear tire was 95% flat. I quickly looked at the front and it was 95% + flat. With it being 110+ F (43.3 C) here in Texas, you could see both tires with that rubbed in rubber, dark black look all the way out to the edge "look". I could only imagine that those tires were SUPER HOT.... As soon as I spotted these I went to roll the window down to yell at him and the light turned and he road off....................................

WOW - Check your tire pressure people !

And why think that it is of poor quality?….it is only an artisanal method…not industrial

People forget why we have OSHA.
In not a lot of years the kid cutting those & covered in gray dust is going to have trouble breathing. He won't make it as old as many of us.

I found this other video, which shows the safety levels of something industrialized….and it left me wondering about the difference between “painted” and “galvanized” pads…

pretty sure I would land in a hospital bed if I tried any single thing he did in 90% of that video. The other 10% would be a total fluke if I didn't crash.

Insane. Doing trial bike shit on a T-7. He has the skill, obviously, but the bike does what he wants it to. And that bike is getting hammered.

I'm sure there there've been mods to the suspension and engine ECU. Possibly more.
