About to go Dark Side for first time

I road a Rocket with dark side recently. The guy I know had just purchased the bike a few days before coming over to get a TuneECU download I have. We went out on a long test ride to see how the new tune was working. Me on his bike and him on mine. The new tune worked really well. He is very happy with it. However, I hated the handling of his dark side bike. He loved the handling of mine with Avon Cobra tires. 2 days later he installed a set of Avon Cobras. He loves them too.

The moral to the story is don't be cheap and ruin your riding experience. Spend the money for a good motorcycle tire.
YES doesnt make sense to me to use a tire that ruins the handling just because it lasts longer so dont be cheap buy a real motorcycle tire and TRIUMPH wont void your warranty as they dont want any car tires used on the Rockets or any of their bikes
 
I guess im the only one that can't see that much difference in the handling of a car tire or i'm tougher than the average rider:D

I know two guys that took long test rides on stock Rocket IIIs and they loved their Harleys and hated the Rocket.

Would the moral of the story be cheap and buy a crappy Rocket and go buy an expensive Harley?

WELL we know HARLEY guys are riding those bikes even though they know they are loaded with CHINESE parts and they only care that it says HARLEY on the tank thats good enough for them even if they are overpriced and most of the Harley riders I know want to be part of the HD family and dress up wearing all the HD clothing. HEY I would buy a Harley if they had a bike that I liked I test ride most of the new models but still havnt found one I would buy
 
My darkside can leave a big fat stripe up the road , thats enough for me

That there is definitely one benefit -
If you are a burn-out boy, the CT do make larger patches and more noise and cost much less to replace.
 
the preacher poured a glass of whiskey and into the whiskey he put a worm. the worm curled up and died.
the moral of the story if u drink good whiskey u won't have worms:roll::roll:
