What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[thughes317]

Fresh Conti TA 3's on the orange bike this spring. Great tires but completely squared off the rear in @ 5k, front is not too far behind. Too be fair, 4k of that was done in the past 2 weeks on a x-country tour....so triple digit temps, 300+ mile days, and average speeds of 80 mph were unfair contributors. Curious to see how yours wear under more normal conditions. (Dunlop Mutants on deck)

Spell check got me again Anakee Road.

Contis were good on 2 bikes I used them on but actually feel hard, may contribute to less rolling resistance? They do transmit more of the bumps into the bike.

Put a set of Mutants on the NC750 same time I put the Anakee Roads on the S10. I like them a lot. I thought they were a bit loud at first but seem to have quieted down - or I've gotten used to them.

Swapped over the Heidenau K60. Having a complete wheel makes it so easy.

. . . . Contis were good on 2 bikes I used them on but actually feel hard . . . .

Wow, I thought the opposite. I was leaving my driveway and started hearing "ting" . . . . "ting" . . . . "ting". It sounded like something hitting the spokes. Got off and looked. I noticed that there were bits of gravel on the tire. So, I think the new sticky tire was throwing the gravel against the skid plate. Once I got onto pavement, the "tinging" stopped.

Love the TA3s on mine, just gone back to them after a set of old tourances I’d had in the loft for some time and needed to use. Was surprised how good they were after the TA3s, but loud.
My first pair of TA3s the rear did 6k when I needed to swap the rear for a trip to spain. The front still looked pretty good at that point. The rear still had a bit of life, 500-1000mile maybe. The second rear stayed on till the fromt had done 12k when again I needed new tyres for last summers Scotland trip when I fitted the Tourances. The front TA3 was very worn yet oddly it still rode fine, and the rear still has 1-2000mile left and is in the loft in case I need it. After buying the new pair late last year on an offer I then saw a rear at a great price so bout that too, so I already have the next new rear raedy and waiting. As yet I haven’t had a chance to wear a rear to the limit, only time will tell if I manage it with this set.

I am on my third rear set of continental attack 3.
This time I have decided not to change the front for my first time ever...
I have managed to make 16000 km or 10000 miles, mainly mountains ' roads with the rear.
Probably different tarmac, temperature and me being very skinny.
They perform well on dry and wet and in my opinion they perform almost the same from the beginning to the very end....
Just my opinion.

Oh sure, make fun of the 330lb gorilla that has hot crappy roads.

I've seen some of y'all's graded dirt roads that are better than some of paved. We visited up there a few years ago, but it was in the Jeep. Gorgeous. Went up Pikes Peak and visited all the normal tourist places. Loved the Will Roger's Tower. That's when I realized that the Garden of the Gods was what's left of a mountain range.

A dwarf gorilla? One with an eating disorder?
The show piece for a Weight Watchers success story?

The wife had one and it was almost as good as riding a bike.

 

[Mak10]

Thats what I would get when i cant ride a motorcycle anymore.

It's little tight getting in/out, but has plenty of room once you're in. 0-60: 5.7 sec. Top speed: 140+. With only 185hp. Handles like a dream.
