Default what the hell

i keep finding the left side of my front tire to be going bald sort of near the middle, but off to the side a lil, could this be coming from turning my wheel when i park the bike to lock my forks? thats the only thing i can think of, cause the middle is fine, the sidewalls are fine i mean this tire has like 3k miles on it MAYBE

If you hang off the right hand side of your bike while riding str8, if your right fork seal is gone, stop taking so many damn lefts and get over your fear of turning right. Your avatar strikes a suspicious resemblence to Zoolander...

Sorry this reply wasn't intended to help.
