Don't flubber, check your rubber

So, shortly after getting home after my so not great on form ride, I notice odd scruff/discolorment on my front (back, little bit) and while not horribly so, i still took a pic and showed few people. It was pointed out to me that it was caused by way too low PSI, especially for in town and very much so, twisty riding. I did notice the bike felt little odd and maybe subconsciously, it is reason for the hesitation perhaps? ?. Anyway, so this morning I checked, cold; my front was 7 and 12.9r ?. So if my calculation is right :man: ‍ :school: , it still would have been roughly something like 12/17, eek :disappointed_relieved: . I am no Rossi but and going out on a proverbial limb here but fairly certain that is very bad to even be mildly aggressive on twisties.

So bottom line, check PSI before each ride, or even several times in day.

    You'd be surprised what motorcycle tires can take on low PSI. Fill her up and feel the difference. ?
