Sweet Hammer-let us know how those tires feel. I rode with my buddy who put the 012's on his R1 and he's not so sure how he likes them just yet. He says they are sliding a bit on him, but needs to sort his suspension. I hope to get a good verdict from him soon cause my tires are getting THIN!

Oh..I wound up lowsiding today as well, broke my tailsection..scraped up my lower a bit, and my case.. images/icons/frown.gif Hit a dip where they put a couple of patches in the asphault..duh..my fault.. images/icons/rolleyes.gif Oh..and the seat of my leathers look like hell too.. But all in all, it was a great ride today.. images/icons/grin.gif
