The Poser Way: Tyres Demystified
New series in the making: The Poser Way
The Aim: To demystify the poser mentality on bikes and life in general.
Part 1: Tyres Demystified
1. The fatter the tyre the better
Posers go for the fattest tyre possible because they believe that the tyre will make their bike look bigger (and their butts smaller). The tyre width is determined by the maximum size the swingarm can accomodate.. I have even seen a 140/70 in a P-150..
That idiot gave my ZMA a smug look and tried to pull away.. End result: he went from 40-70 in a span that took forever..
I felt pity for him and let him pass. Last I heard from some guy that guy had a mileage of 28 kmpl from his bike and was planning to get a Hayabusa fairing to make his bike *sic* cooler
... Moronic idiocy at its best.
One guy enquired about the Suzuki Intruder rear tyre for his P-200. He ran from the spot when he heard the price. Porbably he figured out that the rear tyre would be worth half his bike.. His friend has a Passion Plus and was asking if a 130/70 could fit into the swing arm..
Both these idiots need shock treatment of atleast a 400V+ level to set their brains straight..
2. Tyre rubber quality is not a factor
Cheap fat tyres are the keywords here. Knowledgable posers go for atleast a Michelin or Pirelli.. The baseline idiots go for ultimate brands like "PYRELLO" or "BRADSTONE" or "MACHLIN"(have seen these on tyres).. The end result : A superfat tyre with grip like a 100 kg guy running on banana peels.. I once saw a DNA spiral shaped skid and a poser with his modified "R1" lying in a gutter..
people told me idiot was racing at 80 kmph and applied panic brakes in front of a dog and had a beautiful tankslapper... Rest is imagination and history.
3. Mudguards are often cut to show off tyres
The poor rear mudguard really suffers when a stupid poser gets a fat tyre.
The mudguard is cut off and the license plate is modified to somehow fit under the taillamp as the same with the indicators.. End result the bike looks like someone wearing a jeans with the butt part removed to showcase the assets... The rear tyre sprays dirt and grit everywhere and once the monsoons come in it gives commuters and bikers coming from the rear a great mud bath.... piggy style... The poser gets a mud bath oh his behind.. I have seen one guy getting thrashed by commuters for this very reason...
4. Tyres with weird treads are the most in vogue
Normal road going tyre with normal treads are forgone for fancy X , Y and #$%^ shaped treads which the poser thinks makes his bike look cool. I have seen tyres with treads that would put a Motocross bike to shame..Stubs on the tyre are bigger than my thumb and the bike bike bounces on level surface like it would take off in a seconds notice like a F-22 Raptor.. But the acceleration is such like a bullock cart owner will be rolling with laughter... Even I have seen a bike modded like a MV Agusta with honda CBR and Kawasaki Ninja stickers all over with Motocross tyres.. Dont ask me where he got those underseat exhausts.
