    This is true, and sorry, should have mentioned it really but slipped my mind. Thought it was kinda fitting for the thread anyway, no grip = wet pants 8O :? :oops:

    I gathered that (see "intellectual property" post above) :wink: , just felt it was worth pointing out that I did in fact blatantly overlook forum "etiquette" :D

    I figured asking the question would prompt people to look too, but I modified the title to ask people to check too just in case they were too busy laughing at my 26 year old front to think of it themselves :p

    I picked up a Suzuki 250 with only 295 miles on it, with the original AIR in the original tires (1982). I certainly wouldn't ride it with those tires, other than going up & down the block to test the clutch/gears.

    That race bike HAS to be 'shopped !!

    I had this issue last year when restoring my XJ650. (Used to be my dads). He hadnt ridden it in years, it had low miles, and from 10ft away or so, the tires looked ok, still holding air, decent tread left, but get up close, and there was a lot of cracks in the sidewalls. Didnt ride it more than around the block till I got new ones installed.
