Bridgestone Battlax T30 - Free tyre giveaway

[haydes55]

I vote markw up north for his nt650. He certainly clocks up the Ks on that bike.

Another vote for maha (not sure if they are ideal tires for his fz8 though?)

[Geeen]

I reckon Gremlin in the north is a good call and for the south............. WillyTheKid Coz he seems a good laugh and needs a break

[BigAl]

Ok since the bribes are far and few between

I'll vote for NZSpokes since he's a good cunt giving surplus bike gear away and
Willethekid 'cause he's made the best plea to date.

Rock on.

& how would they go on the 1150Gs, we're up for a road trip to the norf in March, so I'll give them a shot

Having two kids, a retarded dog and very little spare time on my hands...Im now an expert at begging!(according to my missus!)

...wait?....thats not really a good thing is it?? (meh...if it gets me out for a ride )

But all the begging and knee scraping (NOT a word Nodrog!) would be worth it! ...new tyres!...intensive testing!!...AND using spell check!!!
...just a taster for your further consideration:

...and thats me just testing some new socks!!

Pay it forward and all that. Plus he's on a bandit so that's probably the sort of bike appropriate for the type of tyre.

It would take at least a "free" set to ever get me back on a set of Bridgestone sports touring tyres, after entirely suboptimal experiences on the egregious 020 and the marginally better 021.

The best fate for both of those would be on a bonfire.

Battlaxes have been expunged from my tyre procurement radar. Dealers who promote these are wasting their time with me.

Fuck - you're a hard man ... I had Battleaxes on my GSF650 (don't ask me for a number - no idea) when I bought it brand new .. they were very grippy tyres and I thought they were great - lucky for me - because they were grippy and a great tyre to learn to ride my first every in-line four on ..

Unfortunately I killed the rear tyres in 4,000ks . and that included 2,000 running in the brand new bike .. I changed to other tyres because I thought that mileage was pretty poor - way to low .. I got 5,000 ks on the rear on Pilot Road, Pirrelli Diablos ... so I changed to Conti Road Attacks ... (Conti told me I'd get 8,000ks on their rear ...Yeah right ! I killed the rear in 3,000ks ... ) But I loved they tyres so much I kept them ..

I'd be tempted by the offer of free tyres - but I love the Conti's and wouldn't seriously consider changing .. However I think the bridgestones would probably get my vote as the second most fun tyre I've had on the small Bandit.

My vote for a Sth Island rider goes to Willytheekid, Nth Isl vote to Maha.

Another vote for maha (not sure if they are ideal tires for his fz8 though?)

+1 He does more miles in a weekend than I do in a month & seeing what he does on BT 045's I'm sure he would have some pertinent comments.
Been a fan of 021's for ever but my mileage is not high enough....Bah!

I have ridden through a few pairs of Battlaxe, The Hornet loved them on the open road and track

I have to vote for NZSpokes, due to him having a 1200 Bandit that would fit that pair of rubbers and the ability to write up a review. I will have to allow him some more "bike time" to achieve this

And Willytheekid for South Island, due to his begging prowess

[Zedder]

Gremlin-North and Willythekid-South.

[Banditbandit]

WillytheKid gets my vote

[rickstv]

Welcome back Sharry.

[slofox]

Gremlin for Norf and Willytheekid for Sarf.

[Kickaha]

Willythekid and Nodrog because I know his write up would be a fuckload more entertaining than most
