Help wanted!

[White trash]

What kind soul can help out a Trashman in need?

A very close friend of mine is going to miss out on go to Wanga-Vegas this year as he can not (with X-mas) afford a new rear wrap for his FZR750. Size 160/60X18.

I am not in a financial position to help this fine gentleman out and I can't find a 2nd hand tyre anywhere.

Someone *must* have an almost worn out 160/60X18 tyre lying around?

I'm happy to pay for overnight courier and a box of beer as compensation.

Thanks anyway, D.

And if it was a 140/70/17, and I wasn't only halfway through an Arrowmax, *I'd* be able to help...

Bloody 18 inches are fukin hard to find these days. If you want WT, I can call around the shops here in AKL to find a cheap second handy. I can't help with a free one though.

Have you gone bin diving round all the bike shops after hours? The Man & friends did that in The Mount and came up with 4 rear tyres for another friend in the same situation, one of which had obviously only been replaced because it had a bung in it (but done properly from the inside) & he's good for another 10,000kms total now.

I've got a 140/70x18, but it may be a bit skinny.

I heard 18" makes the ride real wild and exciting. Are you sure you can handle it?

Richards Motorcycles in Johnsonville always seems to have used tryes out the back of his shop. Although I've never had a look at them there always seems to be a pile about 10 - 15 high. Might be worth a look.

Called the local CycleTreads boys they normally have a few pre-loved tyres lying around but they've already gone on holiday by the looks of it...

Kickaha (firestone) might have been worth a try but i don't have his celly # on me ... try PM'ing him!

sorry

Tell me about it. I've been searching, oh :o whoops :whistle:Can't ya just order new ones or is that too hard? You see the local Suzuki shop here in Palmerston North normally has 18 inch tyres in stock, on the shelf. You just go to the counter an ask the nice guys to order any the size you want aint available by looking at their nice pretty tyre catalogues. ;) Easy really.

[White trash]

Awesome! The lovely Mitch at Sawyers/Motorad hooked Fizzerman up and he's now good to go.
