My buddy runs them on his bike, likes em ! I don't guess it matters to mix brands on the bike ! I do know the lop I have does not like tar snakes !

I had the E3 put on my bike Kubbers and the back tire started splitting with less than 4K on it. Front tire however does have about 8K on it at this point and is still looking good.

If you're getting 6K on the FB, you can probably get about 4K on a touring bike. They eat back tires. Guess it's a weight thing..

The E3s performed well on wet roads for me, but a set of MIIs is what I plan to put on Ol' Blue before heading west this summer.

Sure glad our Queens manage to end up in jail often enough so we don't have all this confusion on players.

PC crowd..drink the kool aid will ya..

Tires?
The Night Dragons are night and day better than those pos Scorchers that came on the WG, not sure how they'd work on them heavy weights most you ride.

Finally stopped raining, for a bit, still cloudy and cold, maybe miller time or another nap, me thinks miller might win out.

Good luck to the kid oldskew, and anybody else in harms way.

Before MII came out the ND were my go to tire. I got 7-8k on those but get about 10k on the MII's and feel as good as the ME880's. Loved the 880's but wood only get 6k on them. 5k with the stockers and sometimes wore down to metal.

I've seen 2 posts where Original Mark mentioned the irony of Prince being found dead in an elevator. I couldn't make the connection but found this.
