  1. The most recent post got me thinking (no laughter please). Some time has past since the last rambling thread on tire choice descended into chaos. I have read them through and what was popular in year X becomes the whipping boy later on.

     

    I would be grateful if folks chimed in with their current opinion as to tires for assertive road use...not balls out track days... nor transglobal migrations. I know I am throwing chum in the water and peeps are likely to have totally different opinions of the same tire, but maybe there are some tires that are more universally liked/disliked than others.

     

    I currently am running Michelin 2CT Pilots. This is my 1st pair and have run them 5k miles maybe. They are wearing evenly with no cupping and show plenty of life left.

    I am not a knee dragger so I can't say how they behave when overheated to goo, but to me they seem average or above in stickiness and are progressive about it.

    It is hard for me to say how they effect the overall handling of the bike as I have only one other tire set to compare it to.

     

    Thanks all!

     

    +1 on the Michelin 2ct pilot road, offers good grip( i sometimes run them all the way to the edges ) and got 18500ks outa the front and 12000 or so from the rear. Best mileage of any tyre I've had so far that still has gripduim.gif

  2. If you look closely there is a helicopter by the cloud ....

    Isn't it all perspective? There could be a cloud by the.... oh, nevermind.

    JR, you give up too easily. You don't believe, deeeeep down with yourself, that others value your contribution. But, believe me: they don't . never mind, let it all out.

     

    BTW I'm in Bordeaux (France) at the moment and have had a few glasses of 'blonde'. I'd believe that there are helicopters.... anywhere.

     

    Looking forward to your future outpourings

  4. Ugly new bikes, ugly new cars

    and now Ferrari with their first four wheel driver, the Ferrari FF.

    The original four wheel drive FF was more elegant, i.e. The Jensen FF, Ferguson Formula.

     

    What's happened to designers?

    they have indeed lost the plot!

    Then again anything Ferrari have done since the 6cylinder dino Has also lost the proverbial plot!

    Lamboghini,s have always been a better looking car in my opinion!

    Cheers Guzzler.

  6. Hello all,

     

    I just bought a 2000 V11 sport yesterday. It has a few issues to sort out but searching this forum has been very helpful to know what to look for. Here is a picture I took last night after I got it home.
