don't wanna flatten the middle as quick as i did with these tyres.



That's a good price for Dunlop GT501 Arrowmax :twisted: , and they are a GREAT :twisted: tyre. I ride to work everyday, and have found that a regular KSRC ride or trackday is more than enough to keep the flat spot at bay. Don't listen to those Dunlop haters :P , I won't bag any other brands (exploding tyre at 320km/h anyone). :lol:

So long as it's not a D220 on the front ...

The D220 is my only experience with Dunslops on bikes, and I'm NOT impressed. The other tyres in the range might be ok, but the 220's waaay off my list of tyres to put on next.

HAhaha, how about this one...


Funky tread pattern but still not fast enough...

Disclaimer: The patrol car in the background was actually chasing (and caught, haray!) the leader of a group of ZX300 club guys racing through Mac. Pass like toolboxes with too many wheels. The officers were all friendly and great to us.
One of them said "Careful through the pass guys, with these idiots racing through side-by-side... they're not bikes." *short pause* "Oh, umm, take it easy... you know what I mean" *wooops expression*

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I love 'em... mine seem to have worn very quickly. But that could just be related to my engine dying after oran park :( Poor little tiker.

Can't get pilots for the 250s though; unless we're just kept in the dark?

I have seen pilot powers on 250s might have been a 150 rear though.
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?
