and i cannot lie. i've switched to the dark side.

fancy battlax bt45r (130/70)... it handles so much better than a bald, partially popped and leaking pirelli sport demon.........

wait a second... what are these?!... chicken strips! noooooo.... at least i don't have writing in them... wait a second... noooooo!!!

seriously though... i love new tires. my rear shock got sprung.

Change them yourself or shop?

Just curious as I'm considering putting my own new tires on, either BT45s or Dunlop GT501s Can't wait to get rid of these IRCs lol

Heck, even brand new stock tires will give you better handling than even the best race tire when it is past its useful life. lol
Congratulations on the new tires.

my fzr is dead for the time being so i just drove the ninja the 3 blocks down the street to the moto shop. they happened to have the bt45r in stock and gave me a good deal on the install since i'm there every other day it seems like looking for parts or fluids or advice. they also gave me some squash and avacados to take home and cook with... what nice fellows.

btw just for funnies. in the 3 block drive the rear tire went from 30psi after being topped off before the trip, to 15psi... definitely needed to be changed

Been waiting for a good excuse to share this bit of genius.

Link to original page on YouTube.

But considering the super skinny 130 rear on the ninjette, perhaps this version is more appropriate:

Haha Floyd,


I'm just imagining how you're computer is set up with folders with different references. You seem to have some hilarious pic/vid for every kind of topic =)

Sadly, Cuong you aren't far from wrong. I have folder after folder of pics and vids taken from anything I find amusing, wondering if I'll ever use it and hoping my wife never stumbles in there. "Um, honey. Why do you have a cartoon video entitled 'I like small butts' on your computer?"
