Yes you can. I got them so I could corner faster than you on your slicks at Taupo.

the last lot I brought where $100 each NEW but have been told they dont do them anymore (bring them into the country)
and at $300 each for slicks I havent got the cash for new (but they are much nicer than 3 year old ones)

I had TT900's the first year I was there
slicks the second year (Keith Biddle brought my bike home in first place in the last race that year) (I struggles on his cb125 till I relised it didn't make any power under 12000 rpm

)

and I had the rs frame for last year
wonder what I can come up with this year to try and get around the fact I cant ride

It's always fun so will bring a smile watever

3 year old slicks? Bloody new mate!

My last favorite front slick on the 50 I took off after the BOB last year. Had used it for years, bought it off Sally & was one that Dennis used qualifying his 125 for Philip Island GP in 97 I think. Figured it was pretty much used up by then but had won many races & a couple of GPs on that tyre.

I got a new Bridgestone soft GP125 front and on the back a Pirelli off the front of a 600 I found in the bin at the bike shop. The front will let go but you have to be pretty hard on the brakes and be pitching it in as well. The rear will slide but you have to deliberately be trying to slide it.

I gave Olly an old slick I had under my bench years ago. It was OLD. Next thing I know Olly is riding round the outside of me in the sweeper. It took a bit of scrubbing in evidently but obviously came right.
