front tire mounted to rotate wrong direction
« on: August 11, 2006, 11:47:44 PM »
Is this a big deal for a long 600 mile ride in the dry before I can take back to get fixed? Or should I get fixed immediatley if at all possible?
We don't need more sensitivity training, we need DE-sensitivity training. Too many people with skin so thin you can see their quivering, sensitive little bones just waiting to be offended.

This can't be the notorious Roamer, dragon knee dragger! Was it that way during Boss? Hey i always heard it was just bad in the wet!!! BUT some one here said it would come apart as if it was one of those old one way radials! Why ruin your ride with it in the back of your head? Going to the dragon area this fall? Looks like maybe the Robinsons might! and i'll probably tag along. Hope to see all there! :beers:  :motorsmile:

After thinking about it Im just going to take it back right away and make time to do it rather than wait til after the ride. The "younever know" factor is just to great. Thanks for info Daytona.

Brian - you would be fine.  Since most tracks are run clockwise, lots of trackday guys "flip" their tires to get an extra day out of 'em.
