fiiiiine "The Sticky Stuff Everyone wants to have the stickiest rubber they can afford but it isn’t sticky until they can put the big load on the tires. Most riders would do better and learn heaps more about traction with something lesser than full race, factory rider developed tires. Why? They...

The limit being hard enough to make them slide. Jordan Szoke kicks your *** on the brakes, that has nothing to do with tires ;) ZX the point is more so that race tires are far less vocal about the feedback they give, and even more so when being ridden under the pace they're designed for. I know...

That makes perfect sense in my mind. If you run around on a race tire at 3/4 pace when you do crash it will likely be with no warning. Race tires only really give predictable feedback when they're being ridden near the limit.

The analogy that i use to explain the difference between street and race tires is the way they speak to you. Where street tires will yell and scream when they are not happy, race tires will whisper quietly right before they high side ya to the moon. If you are 20 seconds off a respectable lap...

If i bought something slightly unusual i'd honestly be tempted to take it to platinum power sports all the way out past grand bend. Say what you want about the guys sarcasm, i've seen him work on a lot of bikes and have always been incredibly impressed with his wrenching skills.

Owww the sarcasm, it burns. Fawaz i've only experienced a penske double but can attest to how much better it puts power down over a stock piece. That is with my knee on the ground, coming out of a corner as the tire is wanting to slide. I never noticed it making the bike nicer to cruise around...

I had a tire rep (wont say who because it would be wrong to quote someone like that) say 11 years if stored in a temperature/humidity controlled environment. Obviously things like riding and being left out in the cold deteriorate them rapidly. Fun fact. Just run your hand down the middle of...

Have you ever spoken to someone who rides a harley, a race bike, or drives a race car on city roads? 99% of the time the majority of comments you get from them are about all the attention they get while on/in it. I had a buddy with a 20k harley whatever it was and all he ever talked about were...

So it's heavier, makes roughly the same power (actually ever so slightly less), and in my opinion at least isn't as attractive as the old vfr 800. Sooooo why a new version? Kellen while i generally agree with what you're getting at 10000 percent, that bike would be pretty under powered if you...

So you already knew what it was going to be and clicked anyway.....just saying

LoL i know you well from soar, but was not there this year. I dont debate your affinity, it's just that in my opinion all of this is beyond redundant on a street bike. You really cant speed in this province anymore unless you're going to run from the cops, and the simple fact is that it's a race...

I'm still trying to figure out what in the world you would do with one of those. I drive gta highways every day and see multiple speed traps, every day. I guess if you dont mind running. Now slap some race glass on it and i'll take two please :D Exactly. If an ohlins TTX makes a difference to...
