  1. talk is cheap and i am done....carry on kiddies

    Yes, yes it is thats why I posted this. I guess that means you're not interested in finding out??

    I think your "spirited" pace is our Sunday cruise pace, I could be wrong so humor me and come down this way for one the notorious Coshocton rides and test those Shinko's at our pace and I give you my word if they dont fail you at our pace I'll take my Michielins off and put a set of Shinko's on my bike. Cant be any more fair than that can I?

    Thats not cheap talk, I offered to get a set if they perform.

  2. i have run dunlops and metzelers but i have been so pleased with the shinkos that i didnt see any reason to use anything else. if i had a lot of money i might experiment with different tires but im poor :)
    A set of Pilot Powers in 120/160 for that SV would set you back an extra 27.32 from the number you posted and my quick google shopping search. You've not tried them therefore your opinion is invaild, they are by far a better tire. You said you are not slow and rode many "spirited" rides on them when others were holding you back. Judgeing by your pics of your riding gear and your other posts in other threads I think your "spirited" pace is our Sunday cruise pace, I could be wrong so humor me and come down this way for one the notorious Coshocton rides and test those Shinko's at our pace and I give you my word if they dont fail you at our pace I'll take my Michielins off and put a set of Shinko's on my bike. Cant be any more fair than that can I?
    Ninja, since you and I go way back with our friendship, I feel like I should answer this... I kept thinking about it, but wasn't sure, so I went back and found the receipt for a set of tires I put on my old gsxr600. Sure enough, they were Shinko tires. While I don't remember any specifics on how long they lasted, I do know that it was at least 10,000 miles, since it had 3,700 miles on it when I bought them, and I sold the gixxer with right at 11k.

    True, they may not be as good as some tires, but I'd bet they're fine for 90% of riders, and $20 saved is $20.

    Just curious, but if you've already got them, why are you asking opinions? That's like me starting a thread to ask if Conti Attacks are a good tire. :dunno:

    I already know your riding style so there is no good input there, you've not tested the limits of a tire. I dont mean that to be a slam so please dont take it that way.

  3. If I can get it fixed and pretty in time, I'm definitely joining again. Though might end up bringing trainer wheels mod to stay upright next time.

    That corner has bit far more experinced riders than you, dont worry about man.

  4. I gotta ask. Who in their right mind wants you two midget hookers at their wedding.

    And damn Yota it can't cost that much to get a title changed over. Just do it.

    Dont hate because you wernt invited playa. :)
