New tires on the motorcycle. They still feel a little bit slick and odd, but that'll change soon. And hey, traction!

Traction's good up to a point. When they start tightening the wires holding your arms up, though, that's when it really starts to suck.

Oh, wait, you mean road traction. My bad. Yeah, that stuff is good, although you sometimes want more tire hitting the road in non-rainy months so as to get more on the road when you are pealing out at 90mph on that quiet backroad... wait, that's someone else... :)

Heh :-)

Yeah, I remain boring on my motorcycle. Though the guy in the shop commented on my thin chicken strips, at least for a mainly commuter vehicle. So I may not qualify as a racer, but I can at least pretend not to be a total weenie.

(Chicken strips are the dark bands outside the main region of wear of your tire -- the more time you spend with your bike nearly horizontal, the smaller they get :-) )
