Been awhile since I logged in here, so long in fact I had to get a new login. Anyway, lesson to all, check your tire pressure often. Last November I crashed going 50 mph here in Tucson. I grabbed a handfull of front brake, handlebars locked hard left, I continued to go 50 mph without the bike. I was so far in front of my bike the first cop on the scene asked me if I got up and walked. Uh no.... Broke four ribs, T-1 Vertabrae, collapsed lung and left about ten pounds of meat on the street. When I finally got to where I could inspect my bike the first thing I checked was the front tire air pressure....18 pounds in a Pilot GT and down to the wear bars...very bad.
I am in the process of putting this machine back together and need a new front tire. Currently I run the GL 1500 Pilot GT front and back which I see is no longer offered. I know, another tire thread! I just need advice from those who have switched from the GT, or anyone else for that matter. Your help is much appreciated!
