[QUOTE="OGRE, post: 533148, member: 14134"] I've been watching this thread since the beginning. I decided to wade in with my opinion. I'm a certified accident reconstructionist and I have several years of experience with working accidents of all shapes and sizes. Most accidents are caused by the driver not the vehicle.If you know your vehicle's limitations and drive with-in those parameters you won't have a problem. If you drive a 4x4 truck, you can't expect to win a race with a formula 1 car and if you drive a formula 1 car you can't expect to drive off road. If you buy(or convert your normal cruiser) into a 12 foot long chopper, you can't expect to carve up the twisties with the sport bike crowd. By the same token if you put a car tire on an FJR you MUST adjust your expectations of the performance of the bike. If you can drive with-in the performance envelope of your modified vehicle it's just as safe as any other motorcycle. If you need a super high mileage tire and are willing to accept the trade off of reduced handling go for it!!!! [/QUOTE]
