LOL those where mew tires for both bikes in the first pics, and the secound - naw haven't been hard on the bikes since I got the 1125 - still trying to get it over more, safely, on the roads I travel - never said I was a racer, you mistake me for my friends terry, jim, or thomas - Yes - I ride with the fastest, and the only time our tires see the edges is on a track, which they see regularly working there, its been like three years since my last track day - lol - my tires are street.
Let me guess though - you have no strips, your a regular hero on the road, always at full lean - in otherwords your just another careless squid looking for an accident to happen - take it to the track - that is just nuts on the road.
