Hey yeah :? They look like Pilot sport in the pictures though and considering I got my bike from the same place I doubt they would have different tyres on. Pilot sports are good tyres though, fanging out for the pilot powers though!

2000km before 21st should be a swish! I did 1000km in 3 days when I first got mine. Try the sandpaper trick, I go pretty hard on mine after they have been sand papered and it doesn't feel like they are new tyres. Have fun :wink:

Heya,

My husband went into midtown today to get our new summer jackets and the guy told him all about a guy who dropped his bike after he just bought it... I'm guessing that was you :cry:

Hey I like them. They delivered my bike 100km to my door. 6 hours late but what the hell. Oh, and they didn't fill out my service record at my 1000km service either, I still have to get that sorted out. They were good apart from that. They even put a DVD on for me when I was waiting for my bike to be serviced. A weird guy who worked there came over and sat next to me on the couch and ate his lunch then stared at me for about 20 minutes. That was just fantastic, I felt like kicking him. Hmm, Im undecided whether they are good or bad :?
