It all depends on your riding style mate, If your doing daily ride to and from work... Dont get a pilot power as you will end up with punctures. But ir your a weekend warrior and like to go at it the Powers will be the best thing for you since sliced bread.

Can you explain to me why PP's will puncher on the daily commute but not when you are smashing it up in the hills?

I'm lost as to why there is a difference..

CORSA III, look no further.

PFfffffffffffffffffffffft

PP front and back ridden everyday. As well as off road. on a MX track and atleast 7 track day's on the front tyre and 4 on the back and no punture's.

Well, my chcken strips would make many laugh!

I was under the PP 2CT's were similar to the roads? Hard in the middle but soft on the edges?

Road 2 last forever. with heaps of grip

PP 2 CT's are like soft medium. not hard medium or something like that anyway.


Chicken strip's. suck's for you.

Sportec M3, shits all over Powers for both grip and wear.

PP's all the way for road

Only place chicken strips should be is KFC ya slack kents!!!

who makes sportec M3's? never heard of them...

im going supercorsa pro next set

Good choice bro. I'm going Corsa III, as I would like some kind of mileage out of my tyres..plus I have herd nothing bad of the III's.

Metzeler

Yeah Metzeler, they last way longer than PP, Corsa etc, have a google search pretty much every bike mag has just gone yes best thing ever, they warm up quick and are great in wet or dry

Just spoke to a bloke for about 45 mins about tyres, as I am gonna be using them alot soon - few track days lined up. He said that Metzler is now owned by Pirelli..(F*ck cant remember which company!)

Said the standard corsa will wear best out of the three, whilst having best grip. All he sells is tyres, has 16 different brands in stock, couldnt believe it. He also said in Europe the largest selling sports tyre there was the Avon Viper - outsold PP and Corsa. Im also looking at Continental Attack, look like great tyres with a nice crown on them, semi slick tread, lots of angle

And im spent

Stoner, half a second ahead of anyone at Assen. Hayden is putting in good laps as well!

Simoncelli top of the 250's

Gadea top of the 125's

Looks like a good couple days of racing!

And he is on Poll again! Top three making up the front row.

feels good to be back.

For you only.

^^^ hahaha feel the love!

PI anyone this year?

50/50 at this stage, depending on if my mates sort their shit out!

Yeah, I think so. Will probably come without a bike, unless I can organise easy transport for it.

F*ck taking a bike, what a pain in the ass, you have to park miles away and worry about it all day, just for a bit of a pose on the way in! Not to mention you're stuck with bike gear to lug around.

I hear its an awesome ride out from melbourne though.

Its an awesome chance to get a speeding ticket lol, there's cops everywhere!

This is true. I bet it falls smack bang in the middle of uni exams this year anyway...!

I was suprised though, I only saw one bloke bin it last year out of however many thousand bikes!

Would be a site to see thats for sure.

It's on the list. Along with an Italian GP and Monaco f1 GP

Practice for the Deutschland GP commences today. Should be a good weekend of racing.

Rossi - 1:22.679

anyone know anywhere to get decent air shock pumps on the cheap?

planning on getting Topeak PocketShock DXG

This topics been pretty quiet lately.....

No one has any news? Anyone going over to see any of the Games?

openeing ceremony was pro!

those tai chi masters were the REAL deal... not that fake bullshit that people are practising here these days.

Also, the sync of those other martial artists was awsome!

As well as those dudes in the boxes bobbing up and down.. that was freaken epic.

Wonder how long it would take an r1 to go do a lap of their 'circuit'

any1 watch the cyclists 2day. Those roads looked delicious (for a motorbike ie. [unless its DH, which of course would be fun on a bicycle as well ^^ ] )

All that money spent just to make an impression to the rest of the world. China is still fucked in many ways.

100mil on fireworks will not change a thing. In my upinion.

What are peoples thoughts on the 08 1000RR now that its been out for a while?

^ Agreed.

for china, the olympics is just a facade. And to make the olympics happen, they went against many of the principles of what the olympics is about. (eg; displacing people from their homes and MANY other things)

-----

08 CBR1000RR. I welcome it with open arms. Looks great. Apparently handles and goes the best out of the current gen's.

I'd still take the R1 tho

Ive always loved them, but I saw one yesterday on the road down here with all the shovel shit at the back taken off, looked awesome!!!

Shame we only get two colours in Aus, red and yellow.

Road one last week and i was impressed, great power delivery and feels like you have a 600 between your legs with its size. Great all over bike but i know i would get bored so quick if i owned one as they just seemed to take all the fun out of riding.



Keep your eyes out for one that is black/silver Matt

mates looking at either a gixxer thou, or blade at the moment. He said the blade has some awesome power compared to the gixxer. Looks like shit from front on though, but i guess we will see alot of the rear on such a quick bike...

I like it

What ever will the gixxer fanboys do now

Whinge about being beaten by Honda's

Fark. Just hit up RTA site to check out if there was any space available to book pre-learner course.

All booked out for 40+ days!! -____-;;

I've decided to get licence before i get bike

Might as well, because 1. Licence is cheaper. 2. Means I can get P's and Fulls earlier 3. No point waiting.

Stoner takes 5th straight pole by 1.1 seconds over Rossi.
