Why the fruck were you wearing your Dunlop Volleys when you re on ya scoot ya silly bugger ?
The Volleys have been around so long they have become "classic" And they are very good grip for the bucks .
Gotta love the twisted treads , sorry threads !

don't wanna flatten the middle as quick as i did with these tyres.
That's a good price for Dunlop GT501 Arrowmax
, and they are a GREAT
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
, I won't bag any other brands (exploding tyre at 320km/h anyone).

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*

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.
