Where is everyone #5

I wouldn't push as hard on wet roads . Frankly I can't tell you for sure I always slow down on wet pavement, I would imagine the tires you have might make a difference. I know for sure you can't stop as quick and you'll break traction in hard acceleration on wet pavement. Just ride the pace you are comfortable with, don't try keeping up with the pack . I've ridden with people that do some dumb s#@t just to see if you'll try it.

 

Done with corn. On to soybeans.

 

Shuswap/North Okanagan. Took a burn up Hwy 24 towards 100 Mile as well.

 

Been busy as a two pecker Tom cat lately but got the rig put together good enough to use it for the first time. Even if it is I’m my own shop yard?

lol

Hope you all get a little time to yourselves this weekend.

 

Very nice!

Took the wife up to check out a local river. She mentioned a noise coming from her car, so I pulled over to check it out.

The cicadas have moved in heavy in the Boxley Valley area of Arkansas, and that was what she was hearing.

I took her into the woods to show her how thick they were. Never seen em like this before

Take a look at your tires. What you are looking for is the scrub zone, don’t know how else to describe it. If you see this out at the very edge of the tire, you’re reaching the maximum of the tire. If you see a lip that looks like it is curved back on the tire, you’re exceeding the tires range.

sliding tires is not uncommon at higher speeds. You can control this. Not sure you are reaching these kind of speeds.

high siding and low siding are the general terms used for times the tires go away on you. As you go into a turn, the lean angle is such that you basically exceed the tires ability to maintain traction, then you fall on the low side of the turn, this is a low side. The tires literally slide out from under you, and the you are laying down. A high side usually means you have been sliding the tires, sliding reduces the traction. When the tire regains full traction, it can fling you up and over the opposite side of the leaning direction. This can be a very bad situation, you will likely crash from this. Basically what happens is the tires get a solid bite, and it literally stops the directional movement of the slide. As you go around a corner, you are doing two things. Making an arc and sliding outward of the arc line. Suddenly you stop this outward trajectory of that sliding movement. It’s like hitting a stop block.
