Finally did it!!

[Evil Mitch]

Had me going for about a second too but I know he's not had the Bridgy on for long and pretty sure he wasn't thinking of ditching it.

No I love my bridgy when needed it will be replaced by another bridgy .

But he didnt say what it was.. maybe Sumitomo or Hancook

I still think the Mitch (not Leg End ) with a softer side wall would keep you of the edge maybe..and you could get shipping to Oz,,

Two things Dennis
#1 the cost of getting it here to Auss is more than the tyre is worth
#2 that tyre has a centre rib which has been found by a few others to make it tend to track on grooves in the road surface
So I will stick with what I can get in Auss and also the federal 595 which I posted a picture of on the previous page has a very nice rounded transtion allowing me to flick it thru corners as quick as a bike tyre

I must feel the force of the DARK SDE

new to r3 have a new R3T,( well 6700 miles on it now), and difinatily gotta go with a CT, due to the high milage i put on my bike. 12k to 14k a year on the old vtx 1800 i traded in reading these post, would the statement, "a Bridgestone Potenza 205/60/16" be a good introduction to a first time CT user?

You may believe that the last part of that sentence is true, but I can assure you to the 100th percentile that it is not , Hans, unless, of course, you have found some way to overcome certain laws of physics which allow you defeat the inherent design and engineering aspects of a CT that make your claim an impossibility.

I am not saying this to create a row or to chastise you for your choice - that is your right to make as you see fit - I state this for the benefit of others who might be evaluating the CT v. MT issue. Bottom line, a CT cannot physically be made to react or respond to maneuvering or road hazards, particularly when emergency and evasive actions need be taken, as quickly as a MT will under the same same circumstances.

Fact is fact. The Mezzler on the back of my R3R is plum squirrely compared to the lateral traction I get from a Falcon.

Avon Cobras give me confidence

Avon Cobras give me confidence. Metzlers give me worry. I ride the Santa Cruz mountains goat trails, twisties, and sweepers here in California.

Been through four Hankook 225/55/16 at $150 each fitted Mean miles no problems sticks better in the wet on smooth surfaces.
