I used to work with a guy who loved Dunlops and dispised Michelin. Weekly he would try to talk me into this style of Dunlap or this style, next were batterys. I finely shut him up with listen dude, I'm not riding or starting up Barry Manilow like you, I'm starting and riding ****ing "Steppenwolf"

Problem Solved...

Steppenwolf? Like Born To Be Wild? Isn't that the song grandma plays when the baby puts on the sunglasses? That song has gone completely ironic and is now the exact opposite of wild.

I blew more than one pair of speakers out listening to Steppenwolf in the old 65 Mustang!

Anyone going to the ABATE Boogie? I like to people watch, and it sounds like a total show, haha.

For some reason I hear radar love when I ride and that gets me into trouble.
.. on a side note played with a hellcat on the way to work the other night. He was picking on me so I obliged
Pretty even through 3 gears and I shut it down.. but radar love was still playing in my head…

Why would you think that?

Never been, just heard wild stories. Everyone I've talked to has always had a really good time. I'm looking forward to it.

Looks good from here, but he has sliders so it shouldn't matter...

you mean my "chicken strips" where you can see the lettering and arrow rubbing off? (first pic is front tire)

They are listed as cruiser tires. Is there any major difference for a sport bike like my FJ?

Not really impressed with the Pirelli's as I can feel them sliding when pushed just a little. Worst feeling I can have in a turn.

Harley guy here, I had to look up Sliders.
At first Ithougjt you meant nerf bars.

On HD FX models, sliders are either a derby cover or a kickstarter. The forward foot pegs and a handgrip is what side one slides on.
Ask me how I know. lol

You need some new shoes. Badly...

the front yes, the back has half a season on it

the front yes, the back has half a season on it

On my daily, I tend to reshoe each winter, by then they will have 6 to 10 thou on them.
I dont mandate much on my rides, but excellent rubber, lights and brakes are manditory. My daily has about 4 thou on them from this year.
I have two more trips in the next month and by fall they will be done for in my eyes.
I had a front flat at about 35-40 mph long ago, I dont want it again at 75mph.
I can live with a flat by running over something, I dont want a flat because of something that I didnt take care of.

Good luck on that WV front tire.
