Hey guys, I found this on ebay.
I thought some of you may be interested.
I know Mario was in need of new tyres.

Then search on tyres.

Them supercorsas look knackered.....100k my arse!!
Also be careful with tyres from the track.if they've been cooked i.e. too fast/hard for too long it affects the compound and will not get as sticky as they should.

I wasw in Mornington Kawasaki this morning and heard him on the phone offered a guy a set of new Michelin Pilot Power's for $500 fitted.

Well
I went down the local guy today ,citywestcycles ,on the way home and he'll do a 208
fitted if I give him the wheel for $270

That will do.Its already $25 cheaper than last time fromRaceRep

I cooked my Bridgestone BT012 on the track after 7 x 15minute sessions.
It went from being nice and sticky to feeling as hard as cement!! Bloody thing has been a little bit slippery ever since.

Still, I've nearly got 9,000 kays out of them. Compared to the 7 or so I normally get.

yeh, but Mario if he can do a pair at $500 fitted you should be able to haggle him to below 250 for the rear fitted. Try calling them.
I've got the number here somewhere if ya want it

Rossi
Thanks but I'm 200000000000000000000000000000000k's from you.
$500 fitted is about the norm for both. $300 rear &$200 front.
My fronts fine

I'd rather take the rear to the local guy as Racerep scratched my swingarm with the chain last time and I didn't notice,thought it was chain lube, till weeks later
and it was too late do do anything.

mario

Harley Heaven is about $470 fitted for both from what i recal being quoted.. $270 the rear and i'm guessing about $200 for the front.

And several hundred for the replacement rear wheel bearings!

Mario,

I've heard a lot about tyres but not good stuff about the dunnies, how do you find the 208. I dont like my 207 i think they could handle better. I was surprise to find out they had plenty of stick on GOR when it was pouring thou.

Let me know what you think of the 208.

Mina
208's fine. Mine are just about cactus and it was ok in the rain except when I gave it some stick while lent over on a white line
I still have a good front 208 so I'll go for another rear then when it's time
to change both I'm going for the bridgstone..

mario

yeah those white lines can be bad espically in the wet. Who put them there.

Dont know but it aint bike friendly when wet .

Oh LOOK I'm in the 400 club.


mario

400 and still a pasta

I know a good nick name for you-

MT Giza
