I just bought my 08. The guy put a PR2 on the front last fall to get through his annual state inspection. The back is just a Pilot Road. I'm considering a chain and sprocket change and figured that would be a good time to change the rear tire. Given this, what would you recommend? Recreational riding, probably not a lot of highway driving, and definitely no track. Solo only. Thanks

That's because you guys are very used to riding in it. It still freaks me out because I almost never have to ride in it.

I have the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa's on the Ducati and I absolutely love them. Not a high mileage tire for sure but very sticky.

Oh to live on the dry side

It would certainly have made the ride in this morning much more pleasant. There was snow mixed in that rain this morning. It is April right????

Gravity can be a cruel mistress, mock her and she will bitch slap you to the ground.

Yep. Sunny and warm here lately. Supposed to be 69F on Sunday and 71F on Monday. It's springing here.

I love Seattle when the weather is nice, traffic notwithstanding. But living on the dry side has its advantages.
