Ill back ya up on that one man.... it was an uphill corner with a nice camber and was wondering what the fuck was happening when all this smoke started coming out of the rear end....it looked wrong and shouldn't have happened...Paul did nothing wrong then

Told a guy with a 1400 down the road what happened and hes thinking of changing his tyres now

I use a Strada on the rear as do my VTR riding buddies and a Diablo Corsa on the front... good feel to them and pretty good in the wet

Mate had a Strada on the front of his and didnt like it, used tolet go and didnt give much confidence when cornering...he went to Corsa on the front and loves it

Giddy up

I'm on Stradas and find the rear and awesome all-round tyre. But like most Pirrellis - after 20mins of fanging they tend to get very 'vague'.
Like the Korn's mate I'm not a fan of the Strada front. Will definitely try the Corsa for a change...

everybody i know that has run strada's will never go back to running a strada on the front, too many tales of the front end stepping out. all good on the back though.

Like I said Beyond, I'm bloody glad they did the job! Its quite a relief actually, I mean in theory I knew they would be good, but the 2 piece hadn't had a serious test before your crash. Its a shame I'm not doing them any more, you can't buy advertising like that ;-)

Mate, i hope they suss out the reason that the bike decided to throw you. It doesn't *look* like it is too badly done in, so i hope they get it back on raod ASAP for you!

Cheers,

Brett

Hope the time goes fast for ya.

Sorry to hear about this Paul - way too many incidents in the last few weeks. Just plain luck that some of us got away with it, while others didn't. Sobering thought really. I was lucky that the damage to my bike amounted to less than $800.

Hope you heal well, fully and can be out enjoying yourself on a bike soon!
