Maybe it was your tires but I guarantee you there are people who ride MUCH faster than you who use Dunlops without going down.
chill out? whats wrong w/ me going through some twisties w/ some friends? im staying w/ in my limits and taking things step by step. if you would re-read the thread you would see that i did not go down while going through twisties. it was at the corner of my house while i was leaving on a cold day. i was doing at most 10mph and the bike just slid out from underneath me. i was not acting stupid nor speeding but i suppose shit happens.
im sure there are people out there that can ride much faster than me even on bald dunlops but as far as im concerned i do not feel comfortable on them anymore since that was not the 1st time i felt the bike slipping for no reason.
also im not "talking" about going on group rides, i "am" going on group rides w/ friends and they feel totally comfortable riding w/ me.
dont take me as another one of those 16yr old kids that likes acting stupid on a bike. im extremely responsible which is why i plan on switching these shit tires for my own comfort instead of running the risk of the same thing happening again.
