Yes...yes....this is all gentle poking; no psychological trauma intended here, guys.

I am thinking clint eastwood made this up. Not sure it was really fashionable or had any real practical application or value.

have not given the Kaw much attention this year. Still a garage queen sitting on brand new Q2's. Would like my GPA's back as those were friggin great tires! The KTM hasn't seen much action either....Maybe this weekend I will get low or get dirty.

I think you pushed those on RFR?

Well, I know on a few occasions my gloves have filled up quickly from the water running down the bottom of my sleeve. But that many tassels would add lots of weight to the coat when they get wet.

and Wiki is always right....right?hahahaha

evening
Kinda late, but it is heating season around here. and it snowed...

I think you pushed those on RFR? I did not understand that quote. But they did well but are short lived. I did experience the Q2 though and loved it, but the GPA that I ran is outdated. (if I am on the same page here.)

outdated compared to the Q2? absolutely not.
I am still interested in trying the D211 tires. Have not had the bike on the track in years. AS mentioned before she resides as a garage queen for now.

Feel free to come pick her up and give her some TLC. Only has 4K miles on her....Not even broken in yet.

of course this goes without saying....You owe me a beer!

I have looked at these. FULL SET USA N-TEC SLICKS,125&190 KR448-KR449

I have not used Dunlops in a few yrs. The pirelli SC2's on the 10r's setup were comfy for my slowness.

The 6RR came with n-tec slicks, but it had sat for a yr, so I will just change those out. I am still planning on the bridgestones to try out. My first on bridgestones.
