    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.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    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.
    Don't just live to ride but ride to live.

    Be honest. This entire thread was just an excuse to post this sentence, wasn't it?

    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.
