im hopeing to win a pair on Gixxer.com , I like to make my bike lean so it would be perfect for corner carving since the rubber on either side of the chicken stripe is super soft for tracks. Just need to find some damn twisty *** roads

there are some good ones down in alverado, long sweeps, some quick jaunts, good banks, etc.

google maps could be your friend in that situation.

dunlop qualifiers are bad *** sticky tires and yes you can ride with them on the street. pilot power or pilot power race would be even better. i run the pilot power on my 929RR and on the 600RR im trying bridgestone battle axe out.

cycle gear has great prices, call david at cycle werkz in benbrook, they have pilot powers always in stock and super cheap. 817-244-9900. make an appointment, ride down and get some new tires put on right there on the spot. you can watch them work on your bike.

Stop watching super bikes! That show is gay and dunlops are only good if you like low-siding.
