Well,I'll give you one in a couple weeks. I remembered my VERY cheap buddy with a R1 has finally decided to replace his crappy,worn out Shinkos. I called him and volunteered to even mount them for him.

yeah, not going on my bike, maybe if i just cruised around

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Ah you never know...they make a soft compound tire that might be the shit! What you should do is get in on the Michelin race tire deal for $400.

Well,at the pace I hear you guys run,they would be quite appropriate! Here's a similar deal from STG. I'm really,really tempted to try these at the Gap,I'm sure that they wouls SUCK for any type of commuting tho'... Hey,anyone else going to the rally need just a rear tire and want to go in with me? We could have them sent to TWO and swap them on the premises. I'm NOT kidding... I could call Jason @ STG maybe they could hook up a special deal with 3 more fronts. Any interest? How about you Trip and Ebbs,spoon on some race rubber before we run the Gap on the 6th?

Oh and here's the link for STG...
