CAREFUL on fresh pavement - it is slick as s**t!!! The ultra smooth blacktop is really oily and is slippery when dry... and lethal when wet.

I'm sure you knew that already... but just a footnote!

 

none here

 

I'll add a few more sets

 

Yeah..............woot is a show off.

 

170km on these puppies. From last Saturday. Pirelli Diablo Superbike Pro. Yummy.

 

I'm down to about a quarter inch on the right, thanks to freeway ramps Not much else in the way of turns here, even the Ducati factory demo ride couldn't find anything better than the cloverleafs and a traffic circle



The left is more like 3/4" . . . not so much a "chicken" strip, as a "there's no freakin decent left turns around here" strip Still not too bad for a Saskatchewan bike

 

this makes me happy and somewhat aroused

 

I picked up a few sets of slicks for my bike -- when it is in one piece again I'll have to post fresh pics Going to need a few track days to get enough laps on the bike to get it setup again.

 

I was determined to get rid of mine one day and did. I blasted around for about 20 minutes. I actually picked up paint from the road on the lip of my tire. I was very excited.

However, I normally run the typical 1/4 inch from normal use. I do a lot of up and down riding, and my tire loses tread in the center LONG before it does on the sides. I usually have to replace the tires because of no center tread with the sides at like 60%

But after my wreck, I've decided that the "chicken strips" can stay on until I hit a track. I KNOW I can get my lean on.
