Boyd (Hamilton) tyre quote

[madbikeboy]

Oh shit. Carver bought a Gixer Thou.

You're the wrong personality to be riding a GSXR1000, but since you're going to ignore that, ride it with respect, the limit is much higher, but the fall is much greater.

Maybe they are cheaper coz you no longer have to subsidise Michelins GP programme?

Haldanes used to get insane demon deals on certain tyres.
Bob woulkd bring em in literally by the container load.

Cycletreads was doing Pilot Sports front and rear for $399 fitted a while back. They were trying to get rid of these old design tyres as they have been superceeded with the dual compound one I think.

You can have my old foreskin for $50. It's about that size, and will work better than a Mich...........

GSXR thous can be like a rottie - the dog will sit there for years, playing with the kids - but poke her in the eye and baby loses an arm.

They're hilariously easy to go very fast on, but, the edge is narrow.
