The Diablo Stradas are working great for me I've got 4400 miles on the set and from the looks of the tires I think I've got about another 3-4k to go and have never had them slip awesome in the rain.

Pirelli Diablos Stradas, little harder wear compound in the center of the tire. Softer on the sides for grip traction.Rated to 149mph+ Best prices I've found are at Iron Pony, mail order. See if there's someone local that will mount them for you. I pay a friend of mine $15.00 a wheel for mounting on an air assisted changer that has protected spoons. Avoids wheel scratches

I'm also running these , love them over the bt021 and pilots.

got mine for $95/$131.. 120\190, from:

i dont own but say these while shopping

OK, here's my 2 cents.

going from a inline 4 to a in line SIX, i said i would never go BACK to a 4 , well I didn't , I got a vtwin, granted its a 1000, but its has been the best one yet ( IMO ) for me. I'm now looking for another on , this time a DL1000/650 ( keeping the TLS ).

The torque, the sound ( D&D ) got to love it.

+ i've always liked having something a little different ,

the gladius is the first bike i look at every time i go to the shop

we could build you a suicide...that would be SICK!

+1 suicide shifter

sunday..

weather is looking so so right now.

should be fine on the way down.. but the weekend down there is looking at 50% chance of rain

just wondering, i'm goin to be (sic) galavanting around wva sept 5,6,7,8 looking for twisties.

when you coming back from the GAP

another question. is it true that if columbus get a PRO football team, that cincinnati and cleveland will want one too?

temp for almost 4 years now.. onthat MSP program.

good money, shitty benefits.

already had my interview for full time though.. jsut waiting on that call

was with adecco for 11 yrs. hope you get out of there,

times a wasting....

How do you tell male gulls from females?

There's no easy way without direct contact with the gull. They both share similar coloring. The only real external visible difference is, females are usually slightly smaller than their male counterparts.

i know i'm getting behind on this thread .

at the beach last month , i notice a few , maybe only one or two real big gulls in a group of twenty or so.

what are the real big ones?

EBC

you can get them about anywhere.

i ahve bought some on ebay though that were alled like sixty

had them on my R6 they are spot on compareable to the EBC pads, and at a fraction of the cost

i think i got a full set all for the front and the rear for like $60 shipped

GREAT THANKS,

double - h 's or organic?

what are the most popular replacement brake pads?

i have a tl1000s

Do you ahppen to know if 148 between 145 & 800 is still covered with gravel?

ran it monday from 800 to 7 , no real loose gravel , but kinda ruff, not very smooth of a surface, imo need some more real hot days and some traffic to SMOOTH it out some.

255 556 536 147 145 Ride Monday 8/24/2009

anyone interested?

Use a periscope to see over that tank bag?

no , i'm six three

I used to have a TLS. At one point, I owned 3 (ebay horror story for another time). I loved that motor, hated the rear suspension.

Your 97 was the birth of one of the best motors to ever be put in a motorcycle IMO.

thats why i was asking you before about the dl650,

after riding the tl1000, i didnt think i would be happy with anything but another big twin, have my eye on a k4

dl1000 ( will most likely do 98-99% ON road.)

. Did the crane lower you onto the seat?

no crane , i squeezed in ALL by myself.

now getting of that was interesting.

I hope you had a nice time in.... Where'd you go??

pittsburgh- urichsville oh- north bend state park wva-

all the way across wva on rt 50 to mt. storm wva - pgh

Was this a tractor pull event?

oh and i DID win the tractor pull , ya know the torque

these big v-twins have......
