Red, the 2.5mm measurement you have is not even close to the center of the tire. You can see up towards the ends of the tread sipe where you got the 4.5mm measurement that the tread thickness just about disappears. The center of my tires looked like that about a week before I had cords coming through. Those are closer to the end than you may think. Mine went from "eh, they look okay" to total trash in a matter of days with no real high mileage covered.
10,000 miles on these tires is unfathomable to me, but suppose under ideal conditions it's possible - easy on the throttle, contantly cooler temps, etc.
Just for the enjoyment of everyone watching, have you gotten similar milage on similar tires on similar bikes in the past? |

I don't get it.
If redscuell gets 10K out of a tire, good for him!
Live and let live, I say.
Keep in mind, the Coriolis effect is opposite in the southern hemisphere.

Not a stalker, but also not one to sit around and listen to your nonsense and brilliant solutions to non-existent problems.
Nice diagram genius, but you aren't even measuring the center of the tire. Believe it or not, that tire is close to showing cords.
BTW, the chicken strips are over a half inch, possibly 3/4. Don't fool yourself. |

It's pretty lame to call me a girl. That is grade school stuff and shows that you have nothing of substance to bring.
HARLAN, YOUR A GIRL! TAKE THAT YOU BIG BULLY! |

 "scuse me for being late to the FRY Redscuell party.
Me thinks all concerned have been "sent up" (set up).
In Redscuell's PROFILE, he says his fastest speed was 150kph at Phillip Island (estimated).
All of 150 kph? WOW!!! Let's see..... 150kph/1.641109 = all of 91 mph.
Whew!! That super fast, highly modified, seat lowered, secret 'my own developments' 1125R must have been really struggling to get to NINETY-ONE MPH .
Good going. Let me know when you hit an American TON.
No wonder your tires last 10,000 miles.
Was your trackday the first time you had it out of the bedroom? Did I say that? |

Good catch, Mag. I read in one of Red's posts that buffeting starting at 150KPH. I wouldn't have guessed that that was his top speed. Guess that explains why the literbikes were pulling you down the straights. 
Red even went on to say that he now knows why some say the R is underpowered compared the literbikes. How much HP does it take to go 90 MPH?!?!?! Thanks for proving again that you are a complete douche. |

The relative slowness in the straight might just be a v-twin thing, as the Ducs weren't keeping up with the Japs there, either.
So were the IL4s blowing by you at 95MPH? Buddy, ur slowness has nothing to do with the motor and everything to do with the rider. |

How much HP does it take to go 90 MPH
my stock S2 had 77hp from the factory at the flywheel, and i got it to 110 a couple times. |

I am surprised you would do a track day with such worn tire's.
I am even more surprised they let you on the track with those tire's. Maybe they are hurting for money.
The track days I have been to usually require no less than 80% tread depth at the start of the day. |

"Thanks for proving again that you are a complete douche." "lips cant take the buffeting ". Girl talk, girls. Let's hear from the men (not fresno).
My post about buffeting was how much I appreciated the extra protection from the wind by having a tall screen; it wasn't about my racing prowess (I use my prowess in the brothels where it belongs; and it['s not a race there!). |

I understand it is difficult to communicate accurately using only typed letters. You don't have the ability to use body language or voice inflection to convey things like sarcasm or feigned disgust.
Red, are you seriously saying that you define your "prowess" based on what prostitutes tell you, or is that a joke? If you are not joking, then you are a joke. |
