Tyre delamination.

I think I may have asked just a little too much of the front Rennsport on my bike ATM. The poor things been flogged for over 8000 or 9000 klms, and has finally cried enough and started to fall apart. Maybe I think I should change them sooner!!!!!

I took some piccies, but since my good Digi is missing, it's on the kids little Pentax Optio 33L which has focus as good as a diebetes ridden 90 year old!!!!

I circle the bits where it's falling apart, and it is like this the entire way round, both sides!!!

If Mike brings his 67 foot long lense tommorrow when he comes over, I'll sort some proper piccies!! Till then strain your eyes!!

Some silly bastard has drawn circles on it too. You should be more careful where you park it.

Sounds mint Gos!!! I'll let you know what the results are! Mind you, I had a look at the odometer this morning, and I reckon that Rennsports done over 8000klms

Maybe even Eucalyptus oil won't save it Gos!!!

Mate, I reckon one of those new Olympus waterproof jobbies would be pretty cool... I am thinking of getting one for a secondary to the DSLR.... decent resolution, and weather proof

Win Win I think, oh and only around $550 ish

Well mate....if you invite Liptus, Vege Mite come too!!!!!!

Bahahaha!

Hey, ask Photo Mike what the tyre really looks like. I inadvertently just took a pic of the first bits of chunking I could see, but when Mike dropped my stands off, I puched the bike around and noticed the rest of the tyre. the pic I took must have been the best part!!! The rest of it is literally falling apart Gos!! I can see steel belts inder the holes!!!!!

General note - when tread is gone from any part of tyre, it's due for replacement - not another 5 laps of Reefton

and yes, you could see the steel belt where the rubber had balled up and been ripped out. It's verging on abuse.

Bit difficult to tell with the Rennsports Mike as they start life from new without any grooves on the side walls!!!!!!!

I think I am going another Fuji. The little image CCD thingies are pretty hi tech, it's got anti hang over for shakey hands, burst for capturing multiple frames then deleting the crap ones, a long enough Optical Zoom to see my Penis, are idiot proof which is a neccessity with me, and best of all, Dick Smith Powerhouse must have bought stacks of em and are specially them off!!!!!!!! Oh, plus I have had one and am familiar with them, so learning to use it will be a point and click affair!!!!!

Happy Daze!
