Default Fat Bob tires in rain and on the Dragon

A thread around here recently about Fat Bob tires performing badly in the rain.
I rode the Dragon semi-aggresively on stock Fat Bob with more than 9,000 miles on them. They performed flawlessly and stunningly well both wet ....


And dry ....

Great pics! I don't know if I would have the ***** to even ride semi-aggressively on a wet dragon.

BTW...what kind of helmet is that?

Awesome Pics. The Dragon is about 10 miles from my home. I also just bought a Fat Bob that has not seen the Dragon yet. We have had so much rain lately, I am beginning to wonder if we are living in Seattle or Knoxville?
I hope the Wet Dragon treated you well.

Gotta agree - I LOVE the stock tires on my Fat Bob. I used to Only run Metzeler ME880's - and will continue to do so on my sporty, but the Fat Bob gets the stock tires. They perform as good, if not metter than ME880's and last MUCH longer.
