Unfortunately the weather has been unfavorable for any long rides down here in South Alabama but I have managed to squeeze in a little over 500 miles on the new tire. The longest ride was with the wife, we took a ride up throught the back country to Eufaula, Alabama. Then back down to Dothan on state Hwy 431. Speeds going up through the back roads averaged 40 to 55 with plenty of turns and hills. ( I.m still amazed at the responce of the 950 even with both me and the wife on board.)
Comeing back on the four lane we reached speeds of 65 and 70. ( I'm a very conservative rider.) The new tire handled great all the way. I'm still running the tire with 40 lbs of air and I like it there, so i'll probably keep it at 40. The only other riding is to work, a 28 mile round trip with newly paved roads. It's a great way to get to work or to unwind on the way home. I just love to ride period. My fellow workers can't seem to understand why I ride in this cold weather....I just tell them it's in the soul. thumbup
