Brenda should be going out of town this weekend so Sunday could workout.
I hurt my back last week but I should be able to do it.
I know you go out on Sunday morning rides so what time is good for you?

That would be Sat. morning rides.

Do you work Sunday night? I will be in Waco Saturday for a delayed family Christmas, Saturday night, may head to Strokers, if thats the case will sleep in on Sunday somewhat. All this could change, ya never know, what's your availability?

Sunday noon should be good for me.

Sounds like a plan.

Brenda has decided to go out of town next weekend. So what is your plans for next weekend?

TLRam1 · January 08, 2009, 12:45:15 PM

My plans are to tell Brenda she has to go out of town THIS weekend. LOL

Next weekend is probably good, let me think.

Any more feedback on the new tire??
Is it noisier??
Is it harder or easier to lock-up?
Is it better in the snow??

So far this weekend looks good Robert. On another board with international members I asked for info regarding this brand of tire made in Holland.

Comments,

"In the late 80s early 90s i raced cars on ice i used these tires awesome traction great tire i liked them."

"I had them on my Saab back in the 90's in England and they were great. If you can find them in the US, get a set."

BTW, I put a new stock rear Dunlop on my other bike I bought this past weekend and it took 40 grams while the CT took 10 grams to balance.

Wonder how Robert's will do?

For now this weekend she is leaving town.

She is getting nervus about me putting a darkside tire on. My co-worker said his brother has a darkside tire and likes it.

Does this mean you have to buy her another jacket?

Let's fix it for her, tell her I wiped out on my bike twice now. You think she hesitates now, wait till you ask her to jump on!

Terry - What Brand are you discussing specifically..
Any update on your experience, yet??

rjb/AKA Bob Barram · January 14, 2009, 11:20:35 AM

Does anyone have a list of 'Darkside' tire installers? (not Charles' shop floor...)
Or do I need to make a trip to Allen's tire burn off garage????

L J VFR · January 14, 2009, 11:53:28 AM

Also, along with bob's request, could someone post favorite sizes for the darkside tire.(Allen)

maybe even in the FAQ list. I myself might possibly do this come spring time. Also if you have to use a spacer or not with each size etc.etc. Thanks everyone..

I asked my local Motorcycle repair shop (Not a Dealer) and they said they would do it and had done it before..
We shall see.. I'll probably bring a can of Starter fluid with me when I bring the tire.. If we have any trouble, I'll give them Terry's phone number..
