Salt flat's not a public road.

You don't see these on public streets either.

No, but Art swears they do NOT run C/Ts on the salt runs......

Running a 140 or 130 on the front.

No reason not to run a car tire on the back - IT DOESN'T HAVE TO TURN . . . . . .

Much though it pains me to agree with Art about CT's on bikes - There is a reason why a CT on salt may not be optimal. A smaller section tyre would be better - A V shaped one probably better still.

Pretty sure the CT is for one very simple reason - High Speed rating rubber (which I believe is required to run) without new rims.

That R3 needs a sump spoiler though - Salt damage - <shudder> - The front may even be a 120.

Indirectly - off road caveats excepted - Triumph is unwittingly condoning the DarkSide.

Yes, the salt factor makes me cringe. Love the look though and the add works...
