Driverswanted: you could be the first to go TRIPLEdarkside! Running a rear MT in front seems to work well for many - I did a cheap Bridgestone and didn't seem to get any more miles from it, although traction was good. (S-11) Running a Shinko 777 up there now and traction is off the chain. I have ZERO chikken strips on it even from the first week!

Thant sounds pretty reasonable. It is still new? I can't figure out how to send PM's here, so shoot me a PM and I'll give you the address and we can figure out payment.

The BMW sport tourers, many ride fast and very far. Do any of them run CTs?

I imagine them and the Dukers can't get their noses out of the air long enough to mount one!

Hey Coolerman, do you still have that tire available? For some reason I'm unable to send private messages. Not sure why. I can have you ship it to a friends place in Michigan, or to me directly in Canada. I'm not sure if the USPS ships tires, but I can't imagine why not. Either way, get back to me if you have a chance. Thanks.

I'll be interested to see what your insurance company says after a claim (no, I'm not hoping you have one). You will have been found to be riding a Motorcycle with a car tire!!! Using an important piece on a bike that is actually meant to be on a car. I could see them being very hesitant to pay out and honestly, I wouldn't blame them. (would you put a big car tire on a small, 2 seater plane????????)

They'd probably be more interested to know of all the upgrades people do to provide more horsepower and cc's, since the amount you pay varies with engine size. But I'll bet nobody worries about that when they upgrade.
