    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Tire mileage FWIW

We had a thread recently on tire mileage and through six sets of Continental Road Attacks, front and rear, they lasted 6500 miles on average. My last set of tires was a set of Michelin PR2 sport touring. The front was worn out at 6k miles and I replaced it with a Continental motion which now has 5,800 miles on it which still has about half the tread left. The remaining rear PR2 has 13,800 miles on it a looks to be good for at least another 1000 miles or so. This is on a 1200 Bandit.

Anyone have a mileage count for their tires before being worn out?
 
Hayabusa. Rear lasts about 3000, less as the fun quotient increases. LOL!
 
Three sets of Dunlop E3 on my Wing. Two of them went 22-23,000 miles, the third was replaced at 20,000, but only because I was headed out on one of my work assignments.

Two sets of Michelin Pilot GT on the Wing. Only about 15,000 on each of them, but I like them better. Unfortunately, they have been discontinued. Just put on another set of E3s.

Odometer is over 180,000, still going strong.
