Armor-all eats that mold release crap like acid.

No haven't been on dirt(intentionally) for years.. think that was Bryce.. he is about 30 percent artificial from all his motocross accidents.

After watching Bryce ride a few weeks ago that dude is my hero.

Old thread I see,
But wow I must really suck. I was hoping for some good info, as I have always had trouble the first trip out on new tires being real greesy. In fact I tossed my CBR down the highway leaving my subdivision on fresh tires back in Jan and I was trying to take it easy! Left me spooked for over a month.

I wish I could say I don't know what your talking about. Same thing happened to me last year one week before my first trackday of the year. Put them on and headed into work that night. I was going into a small S curve in my subdivision. The new pilots dipped in very quickly, I gave it a little too much gas to pick it back up. And WHAM right on my ass. Now im scared to death of new tires. There I said it. I feel better. I suck too. Now I just take it easy and wrap my asshole around the seat for the first couple of rides.

Yeah I pretty much do the same thing, I hate new tires. Just don't try to drag a knee and you'll be good
