Hi (Chaos_ Warrior)

[Grubber]

Ok, after a bit of digging the best i can come up with so far are Michelin Pure's (think that's what he said, haha !) from Drury's at 600 bucks on the bike! (:gulp

Now i just gotta get butt whipped on a rear seat cowl as all the yank online things i found won't ship international, selfish bar stewards.
Cheers,
Chaos.

Have you tried Cycletreads? They often do a good deal at times there. a mate just fitted up a set of PR2's there for $560.
Would recommend them to anyone the PR2's. I have a set that i am due to change shortly that have done nearly 12000k. Stick like the proverbial S***t to a blanket in both wet and dry.
Welcome.

Hi Grubber, thanks, yeah it was Cycletreads (my mistake, ooops) that quoted me the Michelin Pure's for six hundred, he was raving about them, even after me explaining what i use and why, apparently the roads are different over here, no shit lmao !
Drury's can do Storms for $600 but i am thinking i may give the Pure's a try at Cycletreads, unless i can find a better deal in the meantime as i am not desperate for new boots right now, just wanted to put in the groundwork if ya know what i mean.

Welcome to KB, got me set of pure's from Cicletreads, good tires better grip then pilot powers 2ct, ease to toss it around -more control, and last me longerit.

Give Motorcycle Doctors a call as well when the time comes for your rubber — they've got a mobile tyre fitting service and their prices are very sharp.

Thanks Din Pelenda, i think from what the guy said on the phone when i spoke to him that i will go for the Pure's, what is surprising is how much more expensive it is over here for stuff, right through from Rego / Tax to insurance, tyres etc, maybe there's a nicer roads charge built into the prices.

Hiya Chaos,

I'd allow nearly 14 days for customs - we just shipped all our stuff from Ireland and it was nearly two weeks to clear. I picked my baby up last Saturday, it's like being reunited with an old friend (who likes to hurt you every now and then)

If anyone spots a black 1198s up norfland way, feel free to wave, it's so lonely on these empty roads.

Just realized you said Pilot Pures. They are different to the PR2's. I was informed they hold on real good in the dry but tend to wear a lot quicker. The PR2's are a better all rounder and they will be cheaper.

Ouch ! *sigh* Thanks for letting me know Reggie, mine lands on 06/12/10 so am just hoping to fe*k that it clears in time before Christmas as it will be going straight to the shop where my trade in is waiting for us, we are away for the Christmas break on boxing day so want to have it to take with us.
Nice bike you have btw we were looking at a Tripple Nine before settling on the Blade but the service costs put me off !
Cheers,
Chaos.
