Slicks ROCK

holy crap!!!

i just put some slicks onto my FXR150 Bucket bike, geared up and went out the local backroads........

the difference is beyond this world!!!. i used to have Conti citys.. so there is a huge huge difference.... i used to be able to 'just' get my knee dwon before it started sliding around on the old tires, now i am having serious ground clearance issues with pegs getting in the way.... and once thats sorted i think the muffler is gonna be a bigger prob.

anyways thanks to Jay Lawrence who supplyed the rear tyre....

if you are thinking about getting slicks....GO FOR IT!!

Cheers, Glenn

Nylon and Aramid (Kevlar). No wonder I had troubles with staying upright

Passed a RS250 Aprilla and a ZXR400 in the wet on slicks on the bucket at Levels, might be different on a RS125 but on the bucket the grip level in the wet is suprisingly high
