2007 TBA's do have tubeless Metzlers (Lasertec?)as stock tires. What bothered me the most was the way the bike "shifted" as the grooves grabbed the tire. I didn't know if I was going to wobble and go down, so I figured that a laydown at 40 mph would hurt much less than at 65 mph.
Yep, I kept my head up (thanks MSF course!!) and tried not to grab the handlebars too tightly, but it was a very hairy few minutes for this here biker newbie. I was glad I was in the far right lane and did not have to try and change lanes...yikes!!!
Thanks for the input so far.
