I've decided that it's time for the Suzuki to go to a new home.

[emrat:13481] RMRAT Monthly Meeting

Hi, All. As expected with the holiday weekend and the rescheduled DGR in CO Springs, there were only a few at today's meeting but it was still a good one.

Next month's meeting will be on June 25th, Saturday, at 9:00 AM at Foothills Motorcycles in Lakewood, Colfax and Wadsworth. I know I've been late posting up the meeting info for the past couple of months so I wanted to get it out there early for June. It has also been posted already on the Facebook Page as an event.

As a reminder, registration for Triumph in the Rockies 2022 continues. Please see the message with the registration information I need, and send me an email if you have questions.

Thanks!

[emrat:13476] Monthly RMRAT meeting, 5/28/22 at Foothills

Hi, RATs! Sorry for the late announcement again but the end of the month snuck up on me! We will again have the monthly RMRAT meeting at Foothills Motorcycles in Lakewood (Wadsworth and Colfax.) There will be a relatively short agenda. Alas, my motorcycle is in the shop getting a new chain so I will not be able to lead a ride but for anyone else who wants to, looks like a gorgeous day for one!

Agenda will be posted shortly.

RE: [emrat:13473] Continental TKC-80 Recall

Warf,

You may still be able to find some Anakee 3's around at a discounted price. But they were replaced in the Michelin catalog by the Anakee Adventure. The Anakee Adventure uses the same carcass as the Anakee 3, but uses a new profile and tread pattern and Michelins new silica rich 2CT (front) /2CT+ (rear) compound.

Hey all, I'm happy to see this conversation as I ponder new tires for my 2015 Tiger 800 XRX. I am solidly a 90/10 rider so I've followed that formula in my previous tire purchases. I'm currently on my second set of Avon Trailriders and while they have generally performed well, they show what I consider to be excessive wear on the rear. I'm intrigued by Sean's description of the Dunlop's but the 50/50 designation might be too much on the off-road side of things for what I need. Looked at the new Metzeler Tourance Next 2 but they are impossible to find anywhere. So I'm open to ideas. My brother (on his new GSA) and I are headed off to a circumnavigation of Lake Superior in August. Will need new rubber for that. Thanks. Brian Weberg

IB-Steve,

Gotcha. Only reason I suggested them is because they classify them as a 50/50 tire they handle more like a tire in the 80/20 range on road and probably closer to 60/40 off of it, while also getting about 8K miles life.

So while they definitely broaden the range over the 70/30 of the TKC-70, they aren't quite a 90/10 or a true knobby 50/50 like the TKC-80 or Bridgestone Battlax Adenturecross AX41 either :)

But again, the Mission is a great tire for anyone looking for something that covers a broad range of riding with a good mileage tire :)

Sean,

I appreciate your insight about the tires. I don't plan on replacing the TKCs with ADV tires, they were just what came with it. I bought it as a sport touring bike for the worn out "pavement" that I keep encountering in my travels, with the occasional foray down dirt roads. I love my FJRs but I need more flexibility to ride all the places I want to.

When these tires wear out, I'm spooning on some 90/10 rubber with good longevity. My KTM gets the knobbies (knobblies to our English cousins) for the dirt work. Besides I really feel the extra weight of that GS next to the 790. Different tires for different desires.

I figured as much, but I also don't know Dunlop's catalog all that well. So just because I hadn't heard of a Dunlop Trailmaster doesn't mean one doesn't exist :)

You mentioned Dunlop Trailmasters. I was assuming that you meant the Dunlop Trailmax Mission. That is what I have on my Africa Twin. I am not familiar with a Dunlop Trailmaster. Was I correct in the Trailmax Mission being what you meant? Or is the Trailmaster something else?

I am not sure how many folks in this group use the Continental TKC-80 on their primary or an auxiliary bike. But I wanted to let this group know about a recall on the tires manufactured between January 2019 and April 2022.

Re: [emrat:13472] Continental TKC-80 Recall

Brian,

Anakee 3's.

You're welcome.

Hey all, I'm happy to see this conversation as I ponder new tires for my 2015 Tiger 800 XRX. I am solidly a 90/10 rider so I've followed that formula in my previous tire purchases. I'm currently on my second set of Avon Trailriders and while they have generally performed well, they show what I consider to be excessive wear on the rear. I'm intrigued by Sean's description of the Dunlop's but the 50/50 designation might be too much on the off-road side of things for what I need. Looked at the new Metzeler Tourance Next 2 but they are impossible to find anywhere. So I'm open to ideas. My brother (on his new GSA) and I are headed off to a circumnavigation of Lake Superior in August. Will need new rubber for that. Thanks. Brian Weberg

IB-Steve,

Gotcha. Only reason I suggested them is because they classify them as a 50/50 tire they handle more like a tire in the 80/20 range on road and probably closer to 60/40 off of it, while also getting about 8K miles life.

So while they definitely broaden the range over the 70/30 of the TKC-70, they aren't quite a 90/10 or a true knobby 50/50 like the TKC-80 or Bridgestone Battlax Adenturecross AX41 either :)

But again, the Mission is a great tire for anyone looking for something that covers a broad range of riding with a good mileage tire :)

Sean,

I appreciate your insight about the tires. I don't plan on replacing the TKCs with ADV tires, they were just what came with it. I bought it as a sport touring bike for the worn out "pavement" that I keep encountering in my travels, with the occasional foray down dirt roads. I love my FJRs but I need more flexibility to ride all the places I want to.

When these tires wear out, I'm spooning on some 90/10 rubber with good longevity. My KTM gets the knobbies (knobblies to our English cousins) for the dirt work. Besides I really feel the extra weight of that GS next to the 790. Different tires for different desires.

Re: [emrat:13470] Continental TKC-80 Recall

I know I will sound like I am a sales rep for Dunlop here, but really I am not. But speaking of my Africa Twin board and converts. One of the members from Colorado texted me a couple of days ago to update me on his new Trailmax Missions. He texts...

"Sean i got out for a foothills ride this afternoon to break in my trailmax missions. I will not stray from those tires ever based on road manners alone.

Best tires and turn in i have felt on any adventure bike.

Those tires made me fall in love again with AT.

I liked "Rolanda" but now i love her.

It feels like she has switched from stiletto's to tennis shoes!!!"
