OK.....I have an off the wall question for you woods...... anyone here ever run dark side? I had thought about it in the past, but am a bit nervous about it. Went to a nephews daughters open house today and my ex-brother-in-law was there. We talked alot about bikes and he said he is running dark side. Which got me thinking again. Anyhow...anyone run it? Suggestions???
Was common in the 60's, think they were on the rear on a couple choppers I got to ride. They were so bad handling anyway I don't think it made a difference. Have a Cooper car tire on one of my sidecars, next pusher tire change I'll put the same one on it, they're supposed to get way better mileage and traction on sidecar rigs and trikes, on the rear. Bike tires keep the front and rear tires in alignment, car tires shift the rear off the front track on curves and the wider the tire the more it does it, supposedly that's what makes them feel a bit off sometimes. I've heard guys say 30,000 miles on a car tire is easy on a bike.
It belongs to a friend of my neighbor who closes on his house Tuesday and since the driver’s door will not lock he didn’t want to leave it in his driveway. He brought it over and put it partially under cover of the annex since my utility trailer is at the other house.
