I said I would never do it, but...........

If it is all around your waist line and goes from your boobs to your pubic.......Yes.....7 inches =100+ lbs.

OH, before anyone thinks there are certain people on this forum I dislike that is so far from the truth.

On this Forum I only have Hero's, Family and New Friends from all around the world.

Hero's Imfasttoo, Warp, W. Tripp, Mexican, Bull, Tom Cat and many others. Family are the ones I have talked to, rode with or tried to steal their Motorcycle when they were not looking. I spent 3 days trying to steal "Blackie".....Dang

Enough............I would be here all day

@Lonzol finally figured out your evil intentions and took Blackie inside his room,

Does 7 inches equal 100 pounds???

I havnt put it on a scale yet but sounds pretty close

What was so killer awesome is he laid the key down and for 3 + hours he was looking for it everywhere. Lonzol was just about to come to my room and discuss the missing key I can just imagine on how that conversation would have progressed

He knew what I was up to, he hid the key just inside of the room in the window seal behind the curtain to take a shower.

Where the key sat it was hard to see from the outside of the room, no way to see it in the room without moving the curtain. He was on his way to my room when he got to talking to Tex or Trip, not sure who when he saw the key in the window seal

Best be glad I did not see it first

That was a great trip for sure

Knew you'd go there, you Latin lover! . . .
I was referring to my 7 more inches in height and 100 more pounds.

OOHHHH ok, sorry about the confussion

 

[joey fletcher]

Yes they are....for sure!

You can believe that I would have hated for him to come to my room and ask / demand his key back and Not knowing where it was..LOL I don't thing he would have beaten an Ol'man to bad trying to get the key back

Now it would be different if I had known where it was......I would be laughing and trying to keep 1 or 2 beds between us in a room with only one way out.

You know Lonnie, if he stood in the doorway a dang cat would have a hard time getting out of that room

You Know.....everyone up there that was just like family, dang I sure do miss all of ya'll.................OK gots to go getting ready to blow some snot bubbles here.

I think 32 to 35 psi is a good place to start. In that picture I was close to 40 psi because I just had the tire put on the day before. I'm running around 35 in mine now.

What size tire do you have? I have the R3 Classic and was considering darkside....

 

[joey fletcher]

215x 60 or 225x 55 nothing bigger

I am running a F1 Goodyear Eagle DS-D3 it is 225 x50 x 16 set at 24 psi. I love how this tire sticks when it is warm and great in the wet too.

Thanks for posting your results, Zonechamp. I've been curious about this topic and you seemed to have an open mind about the topic. Haven't been been thrilled with the Metzeler, was going to go darkside but tried the Bridgestone Exedra Max first. Loving it and about $80 to $100 cheaper.

How many miles do you have on the BEM? How's the traction in the rain? I have approximately 4000 miles in just over two months on my Bridgestone Max and its worn out in the center and the sides. I ride every day, rain or shine, any temperature as long as there's no ice or street flooding. This Bridgestone Excedra Max has the poorest traction of any tire I've used in forty years of riding. Wet traction or lack there of makes it dangerous for me. Just wanted to know what you experience with it is. If I can find the proper tire Im going Dark. If not l may try the Avon .
