Me too. Last Winter was severe here. Had to scrape frost off the truck windows 5, maybe 6 mornings. Sucks so much.
Just realized that I have lost perspective having moved here from Spokane 11 years ago. Still don't like having to scrape frost. If I could leave for work at 0800 instead of 0700 it would be melted. |

Riding in that manner is a good way to commit suicide.

I agree. It's a good explanation of why so many people hates "the bikers".

That is now 2 sources quoting lower tyre pressures than the UK RX3 recommended tyre pressures. Colombia RX3 Front 100/90-18 26 psi Rear 130/90-17 28 psi (32psi with passenger) My centre tyre wear was abnormal and worn out after 3000 miles, typical of an over inflated tyre, not the usual centre wear that one would expect. I should of noticed it earlier Having now ridden my bike with lower pressures, the bike feels good on the road with no problems. Hopefully i will get a few more miles out of these tyres now. -------------------------------------- UK RX3 recommended pressures Front 100/90-18 32.5 psi Rear 130/90-15 36 psi |

If you read the tyre, it says "maximum load blabla at 36psi". There's no way that a maximum load value is for general daily usage. Thats the MAXIMUM for when you are 2 up and heavily loaded. That's my opinion at least.

Especially with me weighing less than my helmet These lower pressures of 25/26psi front 28 psi rear seem much better |
