Pilot Road Tire Vid= Summer Dreams

[ricochetrider]

This reminds me of when I was riding up in Norway back in August of 2013. Some of this sure looks like the area of Trollstigen! summer magic.

Think I'd still try to avoid attempting to stop on wet, painted pavement.

But sometimes you may have to

Love the scenery

The opening scene looks like the bridge going to Hitra Island where my cousin has a cabin.

I agree, great video. So you are from Harrisburg, do you ever go to DCR for breakfast?

I haven't gotten to ride in Europe. At about 1:15 minutes what appears to be a single lane road has broken white lines on either side of the roadway. Are these the equivalent of our solid white "fog lines"? Or something else?

My brand new PR4 just exploded with only 400 miles on it. Granted I think I hit a shattered piece of 2x4" after a piece of fencing came off a truck and got ran over by a big rig. Was a long night...

Another is on the way though....

What a bummer. Front or rear? Able to stop safely? Hope there was no more damage to you or the bike.

Fog lines, french style.

Thankfully it was the rear as I was going around 80mph on the freeway when it happened. Had a clear path and was able to ride the front brake to the shoulder and stop. Got it towed home and swapped my old PR3 back on which has some life left in it. I'll take a picture of the puncture later today.

Nothing on the bike damaged thankfully.

Sad waste of a brand new tire though...

So, technically, wouldn't that make them frog lines.. .. .

Hello, Bob

First, sorry to have missed your question!
Nope, never been to DCR for breakfast or anything else as far as I know.
BTW, what IS DCR?
