    Yeah they are special protective shorts that you use for riding your bike. Can get different hardness's in the front and rear depending on your needs

    Id hate to think what cowpoos's 'needs' are.

    Im guessing that they are tires. Was thinking suspension for a bit...

    I've used a fairly well used one on the rear of my gixx,worked real well,though it tore up pretty fast.....
    LB had 'em on the TL when I rode it and they felt great round taupo too.

    Last time I looked the Wellington Hardcore all had Racetech M3 (whatever they are) tires on their bikes. Guys that can tell you about how good Racetechs are and how they run them are Trash. Jimbo and Deano.

    Great tyres by all accounts if you wanna go hard out and can afford new rubber every other week.

    Oh yeah Two Smoker uses them too so they must be good.

    Tyres cost money thats all I know.

    great tyres, very sticky, don,t expect to get high mileage out of them, but what you get will be fun...

    Mate racetecs are the bizzo. Best tyres you can get. Run them at around 36psi on the road to try and get some milage out of them and drop pressures to around 31 for the track. You measure the life of them in hours as opposed to kms though.
