Good times on the dragon! But your tires are not blistered lol, they are called rubber boogers. That is normal wear from agressive riding and warming your tires up while they are gripping the pavement. You should see my tires after a good road course track day on the crotch rocket
LOL. I know all too well what real blisters look like I used to ride track days here at the mid-ohio track on my 98hp 104tq 2007 buell lightning... I've owned 600rr's and a 1000rr. I know sport bikes reek havac on good rubber if ridden correctly, which most dont but I was impressed that we were the only two cruisers I saw with any heat in the tires!
I was just there in August for my first time... It was fun but the Ultra Limited was a bit out of it's element. Aside from the size and weight, the biggest issue was the gear ratios of the stock Limited left a lot to be desired as it was hard to find the right gear for many of the turns. It was still fun nonetheless.

Yeah I have stock gearing as well, the six speed was between 2nd and 3rd most of the time, but I was revving her like a sportbike. Came out of a left hander in 1st into a small straight grabbed throttle and started pulling the front wheel as soon as a cop rolled out from the next bend...DOOOOE! He just smiled and pointed me to keep her down. I was such a lucky *** on that one!

Def. impressive and glad to see someone riding hard out there on a cruiser! I like to ride on the cruiser in some twisties from time to time but I prefer to drag knees and replace knee puck sliders. I don't like the sound of grinding metal so I am more tame on the Harley.
