I'm thinking that bugs should get a restraining order against you. You loved that one to death.

But yeah... woot is such a show-off.

Mine are about 3/4" on each side. I haven't done any track time yet and I'm fairly cautious in the twisties if I can't tell if there's oncoming traffic.

I have about a inch on each side. I do a ton of straight speed with my f4i never get to the twisty's often. Plus my tire is plugged so I am not going to chance it.

Shinko 0009 tires, 80% commuting, 20% goofing around. Not many good roads around here for riding

I have about 3/4" on each side. Do not ride too hard as wife is usually on the back of the bike and the street is no where for this father/grandfather to play around. Hope to get some track time in the forcoming future now that I have a full suit. Then I can eat me up some chicken strips, great with honey mustard sauce I hear. LOL

They're only "chicken strips" of you still got them after hitting the track / twistiest regularly. Short of playing on freeway exit ramps, mine are gonna stay for a while.

I'm a show off... but let me show you what the RR's tires look like :-/

High sided on the track -- rebuilding her on my deck as we speak. She's in really good shape except for the rims... which really I'll take any day (better than a $1600 set of sharkskins, a $2800 rear shock or god knows how much in the forks)
