I knew I could count on you Brian!!
Would that set of tires by chance come with a matching bowl??
So are you back home now or still in the PNW?
Offtopic: (as if wooden tires are 'On topic' anyway)
Back in RI- got in Sat. morning about 2:30 AM. Just over 7K miles for the trip and just now starting to feel normal again.
Few things I noticed from the pics.
1. Odometer reads 009999 as the total miles on the bike. Not sure what kind of tire comes stock on the FZ6, but I doubt it came with the PR3's or that he had them installed to replace the OEM tires the day he took delivery of the bike. As such, the tires likely have a good bit less than 10k on them.

2. The tread on the rear definitely doesn't look like it has 10k on it.
3. Look closely at the center sipe of the tread - between the chunks it's almost worn through and gone, but if you look higher on the tire (just below the shadow) it appears to have plenty of depth left. Leads me to believe that section of the tire that chunked wasn't cured properly which is the likely cause of the failure.
Does the FZ6 have dual tripometers? He might use one of them to keep track of mileage on his tires. Just playing devil's advocate.That is what I was thinking, but the indicator has two zero's in front of it and trip meters don't go that high. Also there is a trip meter on the right.
Maybe he was running from the cops and they threw out stop strips......
Don't doubt or question this info, its on the 'net, it HAS to be trueThen I guess, we have to question your success with Kipass and Michelin!

Conrad, are you Sofa King on the FZ6 forum?
Hey, that tire makes a car tire on a motorcycle start to look like a good idea, eh Conrad?
