Thanks Chaz. Yeah those tires were really old. Had them since the first year I bought the bike, spring 2011 (about 5k miles on them).
Damn sorry about your crash. Glad you’re ok.
My crash started as an easy slide, but since I fell near the apex I had a lot of pavement to slide over, so my left arm started to feel like it was on fire because of the friction coming through the leather. I tried to stand up while I was still sliding and it sent me flying into the air. I tumbled really hard. I guess I need to learn how to crash better :lol
