how are those tomahawk tires?

Not bad on dry roads. Horrible in the wet tho. I ride in all conditions so I am getting a different tire soon. I figured I would give these a shot because they are "recycled" tires. (Earth friendly) Maybe if they redesign the tread someday I may go back.

Speaking of Kevin ;)



 
Try riding 18hrs straight on your bike and tell me that standing on the pegs doesn't provide uber' relief for achey knees.:D Been there, done that, didn't care what people thought (that GSXR was killing me!).
 
on a long ride i've been known to flip out the passenger pegs and hook my ankles over them for a bit to get a little pressure relief and a stretch. better than charlie horsing while riding!
 
I've stood up on the pegs on the highway from reall long rides too, but that was with the stock pegs on the firebolt.
 
You Armor-All(tm) your tires before riding.
Funny story. My friend's dad armor-alled the tires on his quad. Luckily it has 4 wheels, so he didn't go down. But, he is a professional quad racer, so he took the first turn fast enough to end up in the bushes, walking back to the house to yell at his dad.

"WTF Dad, did you armorall the ******* tires? I slid off the road, *******"

"Yeah...well...you looked good doing it, didn't you?"
 
Guess its time to put away the Oakley Blades.
Took me a long time to save up for them.
