what a difference in riding. i have been wondering why my bike has been feeling sluggish on the handling in the front and why i have been in a riding slump as far as my turns are concerned.. i am running the pilot power in the rear and thats fairly new, so i changed out the battlax pos in the front and the bike is asking to take turns now. its a whole different feel. im very satisfied, what a difference just from changing out a tire. i love the pilot powers. great tire.

 

yep, everytime you turn around those tires are suprising you, I did a write up on them a while back, great traction, even in cold and rain

 

yeah i have noticed that, they handle great in the rain, i can hang some turns with confidence even in the rain. they dont take long to come in either (about 20 mins), i like the avon racing compound a little better personally (avon makes an amazing tire and you dont hear much about them) but they wear out quicker and pick up alot of nails. the pilot power is a great all round street tire.

 

I love them too, I was hitting some nice 90 mph sweepers a couple of weeks ago and the grip is incredible. I am going to have to step those up to 100 or 110 for sure if I hang off.

 

notstock i wish you lived near me, id be at the track with you, im dying to go to a track day, ive never been.

 

I here you I have only been 4 times and do not get to go enough. But there is some great canyons here that I have been enjoying for free.

Just cant hit it as hard as the track, the last day out i did not hang off the bike one time and I was flying on some of them [sm=happy046.gif]

 

im jealous, i miss mountains and hills and twisties.. you know what its like to get your kicks by lapping the airport? IT SUCKS!
florida riders = no turn skill havin wheelie freaks.

 

I hear you on the flat, when I visited there I was amazed on how far I could see across the land, almost like the horizon on the ocean.

 

You haven't been to Texas. Most of it is as Flat as a table except toward Austin Hill Country.

 

Have any of you tryed the colored Tomahawks yet? its almost time for a new set.
