Yes I saw that and there is much speculation as to what caused him to go down, but since he said that he was going very slowly and the road was slightly greasy then he obviously was somehow going too fast for the traction he had. I have never used the Metzeler Z8s and while others like them I have also heard enough to make me give them a pass.
I have never had slippery issues due to newness with any of the Michelin or Dunlop tires I have used so far. I have had the tire step out slightly a couple of times after applying tire shine to the sidewalls ... don't ask me how.

I edited my post, I thought gc141x was Michael.
Wayne could you edit the posts I requested on the RS forum?
I really wish holger would rethink his edit policy on that forum.

In case there is any confusion, it wasn't me (Michael) that low-sided. Darrell already sent me an email sympathizing with my plight, so I had to set him straight. I don't know who gc141x is, but it's not me. I'm holed up here with my favorite cell-mate Liz, and my bike is tucked into the garage until we get the all-clear. FYI, my username is mspratz on the other forum too.

I looked that up after I posted and that's when I figured I got the user names mixed up.
I got it in my head you were in the Champaign area and that made me think you were gc141x.
Were do you live?

I live in Park Ridge IL, a northwest suburb of Chicago, but I have been known to drink Champagne!
