Don't worry there is only a couple of Loons around here and I ain't one of them I am one of the sane ones and You really should try a 245/50/16 little car tyre it will help you flick it around like your little Bonnies

 

[friarjohn]

Hey hey HEY, don't condescend to my little bonnies. I've had a lot of fun on those bikes on the twisty roads of Montana and British Columbia.

Hey Sorry No Insult Intended!!!! I would love to have a little Bonnie to carve a few twisties I was actually sugesting they do handle well and so will your rocket with decent tyres, even if you don't want to go Darkside which I will admit I was skepitcal about before seeing one hang on when my metz was slipping, change to any other tyre and you will get safer riding

 

[friarjohn]

I'm sure I'll probably try the darkside at some point. I'd sure like to give it a whirl on someone else' bike before jumping in, but there aren't a lot of Rocket IIIs in the neighborhood.

I was the same way until I followed Rainman and STB up on the Cherohala and watched his CT from the rear as he was pulling away from me. I was watching the contact patch he had with the road and I was on a fresh Metzler rear at the time. Plenty of rubber to the road is what I saw at lower inflation. I procrastinated for a long time, never rode anyone else's bike with it on, but finally took the plunge. I will almost say that I'll never go back. It is actually not the cost that bugs me. I ride it harder Dark Side than I did with bike tires on. JMTCW. Want to see a pic of Gr3ywolf's floorboard from Dark Sidin?



In his case, we should call it Dark Slidin This is grindin the T*ts off a Classic. Captain C will let you see the back of his bike ever so briefly as well. Turbo Nut Theres something wrong with them fellers in Pennsylvania.

 

[HansO]

It was never about Cost for me I didn't like haveing power I could not put on the ground without the rear getting wishy washy on me

 

[UNCLE JESSE]

Oh yes don't you just love the vibration of the grinding of the footboard against the highway it comes right up through the knee

John,
Where did you buy you rocket? I know of a dealer in Missoula, or at least there used to be one there.
