Wooptie-do.  That just means you need to get your feet up on the pegs where they belong when cornering.  ::)

Discussing proper riding technique in a car tire thread is not logical.

No applause, no applause, just throw money ;) I'm really glad that this has kept everone entertained and learning. WE all are different and ride different. I just wanted everone to know it is possible and works well for MY riding style..... 8)
I am sure it is not for everyone, and never suggested it, just wanted to let you know it works for me.

Cant remember who ask it but Yes I do drag my shoes with the ct. just like the mc tire. That was when I really felt safe, using the same corner with the same results....Nice and stable and predictible.

9 pages and still going strong :stirpot:
If you think 9 (now 10) pages of people telling you (somewhat politely) that you are an idiot, or are at least doing an idiotic thing, means that "everyone" is learning something, then perhaps you need to go home and rethink your life.

Dang Clyde, resorting to name calling isn't going to help a thing now is it?

It still gives me a chuckle, but we won't tell ZG about that, shall we?

Son of pappy, As little snow we get here in eastern NC, it might be awhile before I need the studs... ;D
I have really enjoyed all the input from everyone, really this has been fun and entertaining for all. I am pleased that I did the ct on the connie 1400 first, someone had to break the ice. This is just another page in history.. :chugbeer:

I did fine another interesting thing on the internet. Someone has the crazy idea of a tubeless tire. :yikes:
Is that the stupidest thing you have ever heard of. How in the world can a tire hold air without a tube... :stirpot:

Keep having fun and I will keep having fun and maybe try other crazy things.

I really respect all you guys and gals. Thanks for being friends and guiding lights.  :grouphug:
Wow, when was the last time this forum had a 11 page thread? This is specal.

Um, again, you are NOT THE FIRST to run a car tire on a C14.  And it wasn't a brilliant idea then, either.
The last 11-page C14 thread was last month.  A long thread is not necessarily a sign that the OP had his ducks in a row.  We had a very long thread by a guy who said the bike came without oil from the dealership, but it unfortunately got locked after about a year.

Oh, well.

I don't think so.  Sounds normal to me.
