ok here is the deal with motorcycles.
you buy a set of tires... the guy mounts them up and says "everyone seems to love them at 38psi"
you go to the track and check your tires... your gauge reads 38psi... but infact its only up to 34psi. you go out on tires that are under inflated.
in a car you come in and go "fuck this thing is handling like shit!"... on a bike you end up on your face, hopefully just using zip ties and duct tape to put the bike back together.
the only thing that seperates a motorcyclist from the pavement is his tires... he has to make sure they are as accurate as possible.
