Had a serious case of the Monday's today so I decided to skip out of work early and go get my exhaust and tires installed, also got an oil change and state inspection taken care of. Overall I am extremely satisfied with what was done, Micron high mount looks AWESOME and sounds good, not insanely loud, but fairly loud with a nice tone IMO. Michelin Pilot Power 2CT's seem to be fantastic (it was 38 and they were brand new so I took it real easy on the ride home). I cant wait for it to warm up some more, right around the corner!! 38 degrees is about as low as I want to ride in. I was wearing a long sleeve shirt, a hoodie and a leather coat and gloves, hands and waist up was fine except my neck, that was real cold. Waist down FREEZING, just had sneakers on and a pair of jeans. Definetly layer up if its less than 45-50 degrees or else you will regret it.

PEACE!

 

this sounds awesome... but you know what would be really cool?



PICS haha
i know someone will/would have put up those smileys saying "this thread is worthless without pics"
but idk how to do that so i figured id just tell you a little nicer lol

 

haha yea just had all of my stuff put on last week, new exhaust new tires, new battery i rode in the cold as well ha freezing. but just couldnt resist not riding.

 

Does your phone have a built in digital camera?

 

so you didnt have any issues with new tires and cold pavement? i have a new set of diablos sittin in my room but i dont wanna put them on until it warms up a bit cuz i dont wanna wreck on the ride home with the road being too cold.

 

Pictures! lol

 

i went out when it was 60 the other day, salty roads were a little dangerous, but fun to break loose on

 

ahem.....

You really should not worry about cold asphalt and new tires. Unless it is below/near freezing or wet, then you should be worried no matter what.

New tires are going to be slick wether its cold or hot. You just have to give it some time to scrub them in. I will usually wait till after 50 miles of standard "regular" riding. Then start getting into them, but I usually will take it easy. Going deeper and deeper into the corners. Making sure the tires are at the highest temp I can get them to.
Then its time to get rid of that new tire look!

 

it was slick but it always will be with a brand new tire, just have to take it easy.

 

It was 3 F when I had my bike fired up... getting heat into the tires was an impossibility, given the tempature and the street condition. (Can't wait for some decent weather... I'll take 50-60 F!)

None the less... this thread is still worthless without pics!
