    I know, right? Saw an R6 like that last year, and a Ninja 250 with cords starting to show ON THE FRONT this week, left a note.

    Sheez.

    Equipment nazis! How they ride, and what equipment they use is their choice. Thats the magic of the USA, everyone has a choice!

    Slight difference between choices in rider safety and choices in equipment safety there, P5.

    I disagree, we all must make choices on how safe we choose to be. Maybe they feel safe riding around on cords. This is the United States of America! If we let someone else tell us what is safe, then truly the terrorists have won.

    I'm just going to invent a tire oiler that sprays oil under the rear tire whenever it over-heats. Then it'll never wear down to cords.

    Ha, ha, ha...yea, it's USA, but you don't get to do everything you want in public, or on public roads.
    Remember, it's a privilege to use public roads in a law abiding manner.

    I find it's safer if I ride on tires with cords showing. They work like reflectors when I'm ripping it up after dark.

    Everyone knows that you have to wear through the cords in order to get to the fresh rubber on the other side.

    It wouldn't be quite so bad if the ones making the laws had a little common sense too.....

    I'm not trying to be a nazi at all.... I just want the bike before it goes on an off-road excursion.

    Hmmmmm...cords...well, the individual still has some room to wiggle, its when you get past the metal into the last layer of fabric when you start messing with fate...even then you're just waiting for the tire to deflate-as long is its the rear you're fine, the centrifugal force will keep the tire "inflated". Thats what the rim is for. The last 5 miles to the dealership, psssh.
