Put a Car Tyre On it, they are brilliant?

Car tyre on a bike.

 

PS.........
I have read a few reports of a car tyre side wall flexing, so OK on a bike.
I see NO flexing.

 

very interesting to see it.
from the sound of it, they didnt use a harley based chopper

it was common practise on 80s choppers when you wanted a wide rear
tire, and some chopper riders still use them...
in fact, one of my clubmates is buldling a chop with a 225/50-15 car
tire at the moment.

 

Sounds like a Goldwing, but, I only see 1 exhaust.

I have been tempted to use a car tyre (they can last 20-30,000 miles).
After watching the video I will never use a car tyre.

 

they used them on choppers cause nobody made biketires wider than 150.
and nowadays they use them to create a retro-look to the 80s

its all bout form, not bout function really... most of those choppers
wont do 20000 miles during their whole life.

 

No, really?

What gave it away?

I would imagine you would have problems with the MOT man, the plod, the
insurance company etc. Plus it would make your bike handle like squirty
poo.

 

They are designed to flex, dimbo.

 

Wish the twat had had the sense to flip the video right-side up before
putting it up.

 

Or lean over more than a few degrees.

 

I can't believe you're really this thick.

 

Hey! you are funny.

Oops! did I say 'funny'?
Sorry I meant fucking idiot!

 

Oh, did'nt see that.
Good guess however.



Never knock it until you have tried it.
There are many (fucking loads) of people who claim to have no problem with a
car tyre (try a search for 'Car tyre - dark side')

 

There are people who claim that Elvis lives. There are people who claim
to be able to talk to the dead, God, or animals.

Tell me, when you start posting, do your heart rate and breathing slow
down? Because I think it must over-tax what passes for your brain.

 

No problem at all with the right sort of car tyre on a motorcycle - so
long as it also has a sidecar.

 

And to have added a view of the bike from the side

I think they speed up, he seems excitable.

 

Listen to this man. He Knows.

 

From the sound of it, they didn't go above 20mph either.

But a chopper isn't a motorcycle is it. It's a ..... THING.

It'[ll be good round bends then.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh bugger.

And bugger again.

I tried it years ago when normal bike tyres were nothing less than narropw
car tyres. Even then, they handled like snotty shit.

Shock, horror.

You noticed that bit then?
