Decided to take a few pics of my bike today since I have a ton of me and my bike on the track but almost none of the bike not moving. Sorry, they're not artsy fartsy or anything. I just rolled it out of the garage.

Nothing special... But it's mine. That's my Corolla in the background. It's slower than the 250 but I love it.

Nice pics, kuro.

two comments. :D

1-clean your garage... it looks almost as bad as mine! :eek:
2- if your corolla is slower than a black 250R, that's one pitifully slow car!!! :p

good to see you back on the board.

They're fantastically fantastic so far.

I have to say though if I was doing only street riding, I'd probably stick with the bt45 tire. There's nothing wrong with them at all for street stuff as far as I could tell. But I ride like a sissy on the street:p The 090 is a great tire though for me at the track.

It's not my fault! lol We got the house painted a few months ago so my parents stuffed a bunch of boxes and crap in my parking space where my Supra used to be.

I love my corolla. It's comfortable, quiet, has a good sounding stereo, and sips gas very lightly. I've learned to appreciate vehicles for merits other than mainly horsepower over the past year. :) Especially the 250:thumbup:

I'm planning to switch back to a 130 rear tire after the 090s wear out. I dislike the decrease in flickability and the "tallness" the 090s bring to the bike. The 090s do have more overall grip, but I thought I was more in "tune" with the bike with the 045s. :thumbup:

Since i put on the SV clips...my bike seems to want to turn in faster. Maybe because more weight on the frontend . I have 090's to put on as soon as it warms up again

Kuro -

Any way to embed smaller versions of these pics? I'm running a 22" widescreen and it still needs to scroll. :) One idea is to embed smaller versions of these, but then link to the large originals so folks who want the hi-res still have access to them. Anything wider than 1200 is going to give a good number of folks a hard time (but I do appreciate the warning in the thread title) If you give me the OK, I'll convert 'em myself, but didn't want to do it without asking you first.

thanks, it looks cleaner in pics than it really is. I've replaced parts after a fall and there's still some remaining blemishes but it's not too bad...


Sure, you can clean the garage if you want. I won't pay you though.:cool:

Kuro...watch out. kkim has a fettish for BLACK 250Rs. He keeps telling himself they are slower than the green version. You will end up on the same side of Santa's list that I'm on.

Of course, I love your bike. It looks FAST like mine.:)
