    Talking NEW DAIBLOS FOR ME

    Cant wait!!! just booked a new set of Diablos for my Ducati.I decided on just the normal ones as opposed to the Corsa's this time round.
    Im looking forward to it as the Azaros are (as some of you have seen) are quite flat on the bum and not nicely rounded so my cornering is crap.
    Down side is the trip down to Manfield will have to be a careful one as they wont be scrubbed in.
    But next ride hopefully Im all good!!!
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    Dont worry about scrubbing them in.... it only takes like 100-150kms.... I ususally just start off slow and increase my pace until at around the 100-150km mark im scraping the pegs.... then i know they are scrubbed in
    See Robert Taylor for any Ohlins requirements www.northwest.co.nz
    Thanks Colemans Suzuki
    Thanks AMCC
    I use DID Chains and Akrapovic Exhausts

    Where you staying,I can get a good rate at Rydges, they have underground parking so you can do shit on your bike afterwards and its secure.
    I will go but I need goodish weather

    Only takes about 50 ks to scrub em in so by the time you get to manfiel they will be well and truly ready for use.Good luck.. great tyres!
    Thanks, what K's did you get out of them before they shredded.

    Thanx for the offer Quasie but luckly I got hooked up with some free accommodation down there.

    Hopefully we'll get some good weather.

    I've got "normal" Diablos on both my Monsters - I love them. They inspire confidence in the wet, and are great in the dry. I think you'll like them (though tyres are a very personal thing)

    Let me state here (and I'm not just being modest) that I don't ride hard. I do punt along, but not as fast as a lot of you guys.

    Looking forward to meeting you at Manfeild - I'll be the one in the bright red Ducati jacket with the Ducati beanie!

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
