...which is why on our ride through Thredbo, Tom Groggin to Khancoban I was apparently leaving some pretty big black lines through those oh so sweet corners :twisted:

Hopefully the white power shock will help with that...

It was you who bought it wasn't it.??

Sounds like a stain remover...

In fact, I thought for a second that you were talking about a stain remover to get rid of the black marks. Then it clicked. :lol:

I dont know if he's wearing them down to the wire. These are his first pair so we are wanting to know what they are like cos they are going on most of the 1 Litre bikes. Also the guy behind the counter reckons they are the best thing since sliced bread. So my mate thought why not!

The 012's are on a tlr1000. 8000KM's and still riding.

Oh, I see... they're on a Suzuki. That'd explain it. Not a lot of power to worry about there...

I always wear the rear out first.
Not quite 2 to 1 but close I'd say.
Ive got 208's on and had 207's new might give the bridgstone a go next

I've been using Avons for front and rear on my '01...

I do alot of highway riding (my bike has 66,000 km on it in less than 2 years) and they seem to do the job really well.

get around 18,000 from rear, and 25,000 from a front.

18,000???? Are they made of wood? Steel? Cement?

Flakey · Post by **Flakey** » Mon May 03, 2004 12:02 pm

They're actually softer than I expected.

They grip wet roads well (still spin in the oil at lights

)

and here's a pic 17,000kms and 2 track days at Wanneroo Raceway...

Sorry, did you say something??? I still can't get over the 18,000 kay post!!

Flakey · Post by **Flakey** » Mon May 03, 2004 12:23 pm

Well, most of the kays are done at a constant speed ~150kph (no traffic lights etc), so that's why their square in the middle

Track day did round em off a bit tho. I don't think I'd want to use them on the track alot, there are better tyres around for track use.
