[QUOTE="kk3an, post: 1360221, member: 78947"] Hi Tony, thanks man. I'm sorry we missed each other in JAX a couple weeks ago (not sure how that happened)? I know you can slam dunk the Quattro. I was following your (outstanding!!) 200 CC a few years ago. So you can nail the Quattro for sure. My bike during the Deca was just a Yamaha Super Tenere. No panniers, just a fuel cell. So it was feather light and that helped tire wear. With that same setup, I get .032" of wear (per 1,000 miles) on the Tourance at BBG pace. I could have maybe gotten away with 6 BBG's last year, but it wasn't worth the risk, and we had one tire change planned anyway, so we did it on day 5 before bed. The front Tourance lasted the whole 15,000 miles easily. Each BBG was around 18-1/2 hours. This is the cert from JAX if you're interested: [URL="https://www.kk3an.com/deca1.pdf"]https://www.kk3an.com/deca1.pdf[/URL] Your PR2's are about the same mileage it sounds like. I get 15,000 also just riding regularly on a rear Tourance. Yes there's a small ride report on Facebook with a bunch of pics.....back in August of last year. Seriously....the better the food you eat doing the Quattro, BBGHW, etc will pay dividends! I have huge respect for Dale running his Hell Week....his routes I feel were much harder & more taxing than mine. Dan [/QUOTE]
