tyres

Need some round black things to go on the metal black thing.

Want sticky ones, not too worried about tyre life (within reason - more
than a thousand Km on the road ok ?)

Michelin Pilot ???? which one ??
Pirelli Dragons ?

What's the general consensus on sports bike tyres (yeah yeah it's only
pretending to be a sports bike before the comments start)

04 Cagiva X Raptor - the usual sports sizes - 120/70/17 and 180/70/17

(Monday is really to early to start with the liquid lunches already, and
I should be old enough to know not to go to pub afterwards when I get
home, one day I'll learn)

 

Never!!

 

Well I did have several pints of old speckled hen before doing the
coopers, does that make it better ?

Oh ? OK !!! Kewl, i'd better go do another one tomorrow then !

Have found a bargain for you. Can probably trade in the ex for at least one
round black thingey.

pilot power now - comes in a few grades of sticky - stickier and very
fucking sticky

more sticky less kays

depends on your style of riding and what you use the bike for

pirelli dragons , not so sure about, the corsa are sticker and again less
kays

bridgestone are good, but they have changed their designations and model
numbers so often now , im not even sure what they stickiest tyre is - the
014 (i think)

yet to found someone to say nice things about the dunlops

the new avon venoms seem to be getting a good rap tho ...ditto metzlers
...........

 

OK, I want very fucking sticky.

Best suggestion is Pilot Powers by the sound - no one is going to wade
in with their preferences ?

JL
(I guess I've been kill filed - oh well, I'll just have to go for a ride
then

 

The Venom is the Harley tyre

I think you mean the new Avon Vipers

come in Sport and Supersport

ck

 

Try the Avon Viper Supersport - Rapid bikes used 'em on their K5 1000 and
raved about them.

surprising life too - 3 track days along with just over 3,000 road k's

ck

 

Yeah I saw that article, thanks

JL

 

Michelin Pilot Race.

 

I had to make this very decision yesterday after my 'didn't have much life
left' OEM Dunlop 220 rear had its life drastically shortened on Sunday night
when a nice sharp washer punctured the tyre - and I spent half of monday
morning putting 60psi in the tyre at three different servos so I could get
top the MC tyre shop!
The tyre shop had all the stickies in stock - and I ended up buying a pair
of the Pilot Powers. (over the bridgestones, dunlops, pirelli$, metzler$ and
probably some more that I was shown but can't rememeber).
Can't give you a review yet as I've not worn off all the slippery stuff yet.
Of course new tyres are always nice to ride though, everything is easy to
steer
Price was good too - but my bike only has a 160 rear, a little bit
cheaper....

 

Pair of cheap barracudas (in spawning season).

-----sharks

 

OK, ta.

I've got IK (the other week) and yourself on the Powers and Ck
suggesting Avons.

JL

 

Hmmm...

JL
(so the sharkey can eat them ?)

 

ahh yep that's prolly right

 

Did you know Procycles Hornsby are now doing a Nitrogen service as
well.............

ck

 

Wow ! But I've already got a better offer - my local servo offers 80%
nitrogen for free(1) !!

JL
(plain old Aussie air has done me fine for the last 30 years, but thanks
anyway)
(1) the other 20% is mostly oxygen and carbon dioxide and about 1% "other"

 

haha ...........yeah

dunno about it's application for mere mortals like us rather than GP teams,
but noticed it there the other weekend

and of course I would imagine it ain't cheap
