ContiTrail Attack in stock sizes. Cheap, sticky, still do find on a dirt/gravel road.

You might want to check on the status of the road. I had heard it mentioned that it was closed, but I am not sure if that is still applicable. Even so, there are some other great roads around which should be easy enough to find. Call up Destination Motorcycles (Triumph/BMW/KTM) and they...

Ive put about 250 miles so far on ContiTrail Attacks. Love 'em. They were also pretty cheap at $55 front / $115 rear in the stock sizes. They seem to roll right over longitudinal grooves and tar snakes without pulling. They are way more tire than I am rider, but thats not saying much.

I put about 100 miles on the tires yesterday. I mostly heeded warnings about new tires and mold release, etc, so I didn't really push anything. But, they are smooth, sticky, and stable on tar snakes. Also, they turn in REALLY well, but part of that sensation could just be that I was used to a...

I just got new tires put on the Bonnie Black...wow...like getting a new bike! I went with ContiTrail Attacks in stock sizes. They just feel so nice and smooth! I will write a review on the tires after I put a few more miles on them. All I can say now is that they are way better than the...

I have a 2006 Mazda6i Sport 5-speed. Looks good, runs good. Much more room than an economy car. Very nice seats...I am 5'11" 230, but was comfortable in the car even when I weighed 275. Gets 30mpg at 70 mph. Mazda's depreciated pretty badly, so they are cheap used and there are a few...

I made another quick vid of my D&D pipes which have been repacked with Moose fiberglass material. It definitely takes the harsh edge off of the D&Ds. They sound much more like the Preds now. Still a little sharper and more popping on overrun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqmJ76hMrwY

If they are the same as mine, then they are great. Its amazing how much small changes in dimensions improve the overall rideability of the bike.

Here is a very short video of my bike with D&D pipes. I just repacked them about 200 miles ago with Moose Racing fiberglass packing. It definitely quieted them down over the stock packing which looked like it was cinched down with strapping tape (which melted)...

IT computer geek and musician. Just watched 20% of my IT co-workers get laid off yesterday. Glad it wasn't me, but still sucks. Thanks for all the stimulus and job creation, Obama and Congress.

wow...there goes my evening. and most of the day tomorrow.

36, 2004 Bonneville Black is my first bike, purchased a couple of months back (though I rode a few others, mostly in college). It was my reward to myself for losing almost 50lbs last year. I love it!

What sizes did you get? Any photos yet? I noticed that the 100/90-19 is HALF the price of the 110/80R-19. Anyone know why? There is no "R" in the size designation for the 100. Does that mean its not a radial? All the rear sizes are radial, so I am confused (being a bike noob and all ).

This must have been a straight-line race. The nightsters do jump off the line really well, but the one I rode turned about like a wheelbarrow.
