The NC is my first bike and I bought it used back in October. It had 7500 miles on the original tires and I have already added another 2000 and the rear needs to be replaced. I commute 70 miles roundtrip daily, mostly at freeway speeds.
Question is how do I break in a new tire? I heard they can be very slick at first and can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Which describes me, first bike, first time rider. I asked a service guy at my local Honda dealer and his advice was just take it easy for the first 100 miles. This puzzled me because if I drive 100 miles on the freeway only the center gets broken in. I bought the Avon Storm tires if that helps. What do those of you seasoned riders do to break in your new tires?
Thanks,
Joe
