Manawatu Rant n Rave

[86GSXR]

I've seen tyres that looked like that...

Yes, they are a very common sight on East Cape Connies I believe

Rubbish Shinko's are

They did mention that Shinko's were in a league of their own

Might have to have a borrow of that if I could. What was the test conditions? Did they say how far they got on each tyre?

The tests were done over two parts.

"We then sent our two test pilots on our 180 mile test loop. This loop covers not only some freeway and city riding for real world impressions but encompasses the gamut of twisty road work in the canyons, from ultra fast and smooth corners to tight gnarly paved goat trails"

"For the track portion of the test, we returned to Buttonwillow Raceway Park's Race #23 Sweeper circuit configuration, a nice combination of fast and slow sections with plenty of bumps to test the tires' compliance, traction and stability. Conditions were near perfect with ambient temps in the 70's and no wind"

I'd be a little surprised if they mentioned any wear rates.

"Wear rates on both street and track were moderate"

Someone mentioned or questioned about Woodville motorcyclists. I found the flyer for "Descendants Social Motorcycle Club 5th Annual Ride to Win Friday 14th March. All Motorcyclists Welcome"Featuring Friday night band and a run.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thats funny, i thought this was the meetings and events thread , maybe a mod could step in and tidy this up.
I,m sure we have a rant n rave thread around here somewhere

[chanceyy]

ohh thats such a good idea meanie .. but as soon as its tidied up, it just gets messy again.. so if ya can not beat them .. join them huh

unless everyone agrees of course to keep the weekend rides just for the weekend rides & everything else is in rant & rave ..

then absolutely no worries I would be happy to spend several hours moving all the off topic posts from here. 86 & I have better things to do than moderate & move posts to where they should be in the first place ..
