A brisk 27 degree ride to work this morning. It wasn’t an enormous fan of idling.

And it’s a dungflop. There’s no way would I ride that, especially on a frosty road.

Yeah whoever stole it must have done a lot of burnouts. It’s pretty much square and gives it some incredibly amusing handling characteristics.

It had an identical dunlop on the front when it got stolen... I got it back with something else. They literally rode the tires off of it lol.

The one on my Zuma 125 was way worse. Probably shouldn’t have waited three months to fix that, but I never rode it when there was even a chance of moisture. I did at least get it replaced before taking it on the Gambler 500. I did actually think of you, our resident 2-wheel riding expert, shaking your head in dismay a few times before I finally bit the bullet.

Glad I didn’t post a picture of my Buell’s rear tyre on the day I sold it, I would have been able to feel the disappointment from here!

I guess that’s sorta like u nintentional Darksiding? lol

(Yeah, I know car rubbers and motorcycle rubbers are different)

Wait, I’ve read snippets about it being stolen , did write  about what happened?

Yeah it was stolen December 12th-ish 2017 and I got it back June 17 2018 with a blown-up engine and over 4,000 miles put on it. All kinds of hacked up electronics and ignition , different front tire, totally roached rear tire, etc.

That’s when I went the cafe racer route since it was so messed up anyways.
