I'm taking that one off tonight - It'll be a freebie for a stunter or someone who wants cheap cheap dry weather rubber. It's no good on the track anymore.

Some kid might have it at a bike night and show his amazing skills off... it would look good on a brand new 600rr

Maybe you should auction it off on e-bay Woot , maybe be worth more than a new tyre to the right buyer

Actually, it looks like there isn't much wear at all on the part where most of us ride, right down the middle. It's probably still good for 5,000 miles for me.
