i wish i woulda got a vid of my cousin tryin to do a burn out on the road with his ttr 230 hahah
he had just learned how to bury the back tire into the dirt
but i guess he underestimated the traction that 2 inch knobs get and he revved it up and dropped the clutch and it dropped him straight on his back lol i didnt know if he was dead or not but then i heard the groans and grumbles and i busted out lauging

I asked a buddy to shoot the vid & he hasn't returned the call yet....

[Bert]

[darkside94]

it broke the back fender
dented/scraped the shit outta his exhaust
and bent the hell out of his handlebars i had to ride it home for him his back was hurtin so badsd

No video

Got tires installed today & put on 100 miles tonight, bike was parked for 11 days waiting for tires.  Riding on the old rear tire that was squared off it was like having training wheels.   




I went with Dunlop Roadsmart's $447.00

ddayum, I thought 300 for two was out there!

Being new to motorcycles I really don't have an experienced opinion, but compared to the old  tires these are the shit.   I now have 218 miles on them. Tires are quiet & balanced so thats 

 I'm sure the tires are great but the rider is still learning to ride    

Are they any books I could read about technique etc...?  I thought about a video for training motorcyle policeman.

$300 sounds like a great deal 
I saw a bike with a car tire on the back & it had 30,000 miles on it, tread @ 50% yet.

Only advice I have. Take curvy roads, not just straight interstate. It is more fun, and you won't get that flat spot in the middle(like I have)

[Bert]

Yea Brad I can only imagine the handling with a car tire wobbling on the edge of the tire in a turn. 



Peels - There's a few curvy roads locally but most are straight & flat

True very flat
