why my tire gets so boogered up??

I do not ride that hard and usually am the slowest of the few people I ride with. I am conservative in the corners, but not afraid to lean the bike over. When ever we get done riding my tire always looks like it was ridden the hardest, why when it was probably ridden the leat hardest?

My only thought is my weight and the heavy busa combined.

I strongly suspect that the Bush Administration is responsible.

Er, maybe not enough centrifugal force to fling those boogers off. Sorry, I'm just being a jerk,
It's either what Don said or possibly Halliburton.

I dont have any hot-rod bikes anymore, but is that residue not fairly normal on a soft/sticky tire?

[Gord]

Is that not the result of torque and hard acceleration. Methinks someone rides harder than they are admitting to!

[BobFV1]

Soft compound, hot asphalt, riding hard - some combination of the three (probably all three). Oh - inflation - maybe you need to let some air out of your tires to compensate for the hot temps and your riding style.

Oh yeah - one more thing - chicken strips are for pussies. You have some manly tires there!

LMAO!

I am looking at some suspension upgrades and raising the bike from the lowered position to the normal ride height. It will be interesting to see how she handles with the changes.

What bike are you riding? While in the twisties (Buell XB12) I like to power out of the turns. I notice a big change in the tires after a spirited ride.

Scotty, the relatively heavy bike really factors in, and you're no fly-weight either!
Also different paving compounds have different degrees of abrasion.
And any given tire will act differently on different bikes.
Under-inflated tires run hot but you would be feeling that if it was enough to cause that, especially over on the edges like that.
I used to get that with very soft Dunlops when riding my 50R with No-Legged Randy, my bi-lateral amputee buddy, now passed. You had to melt your tires to stay up with that boy. Damn I miss him...
I suspect Bob's right, probably a combination of things. Has it done that with different tires?

[BobFV1]

Scott - I forgot to mention, the soft compound Pilot Sports I ran on my Ducati SuperSport when I lived in PHX used to look exactly like yours after a track day, and of course once they looked like that, they stayed like that. My other bikes with road compound tires were not as shredded in the same heat.

PS - they look badass.

Dave this is the first set of tires I have put ont he bike.The first time I noticed it was the Salt River Canyon coming home from Deans.

I suspect its just the compound of the tire and my weight combined with the tire as I really do ride that hard.

Has Dean been seen in your neck of the woods? did you see what Will said about his new BMW tires.
He has bugs from a half dozen states plastered all over his new 1200GS Anniversary Edition, and his Tourance EXP's are shredded at 3,200 miles. What ever you do do not bring it to Big Bend and ask if he would like to do a test ride!

[isiahstites]

I loved those tires so much I bought another set!!

The front went away fast than the rear, with the weight of the bike and my weight combined I must really push the front hard to the point it shreds.

The cord/belt exposed itself on the way home from work Thursday, when I got home my new tires were there. The rear was wearing nice like the front until one day in a corner the front went away momentarily and the pucker factor came in immediately. Haven't ridden a twisty road since and just been commuting thus the center being gone on the rear, oh and the occasional wheelie and quick high speed blast.
