Agreed! If they had teams we would've heard of success by now probably. I heard Cleveland and Cincy had teams once upon a time.
Yep but the browns won a SB.. It just took a city move away from Staphville to get it done..

Does it have Shinko tires??
Nope I actually ran *GASP used shady bowl tires.. aka circle track tires. Which I am sure sucked at the drag strip.
Nice! .10 E.T's!? My 5.0 wasn't that fast, probably because I was 18 at the time and didn't have much loot working at Papa Johns.I ran 10.4 to 10.8 depending on weather and track conditions at rundown laRue track..
I didn't say riding like I do at the track. Ever been to Deal's Gap? Ever rode 10 in KY? You can ride WELL within the posted limits and need good tires to do it safely and effectively.You are stretching things here.. The day I can't ride within posted limits on ANY road with these tires on my bike is the day I should just quit fucking riding.. I will put any damn street/road tire on my bike and ride within posted limits. Give me a break..

Ohhh you know it is.. Wonder how many U-Hauls that would buy to get all the Little Hodgies out of the sand?

Awesome racing there thanks to Stewart...

Drag racing is awesome too! I remember growing up in my 5.0 mustang at 18 and drag racing out behind Airborne in Wilmington Ohio for money. Everyone loves drag racing.

Unfortunetly Im on a budget this year, no overtime at work. So it was either try shinkos or not ride(NOT A OPTION). I appreciate everyones opionion, hopefully it will warm up soon so i can see how they work. I'll even take a 40-50 degree day, hell with this 20 degree crap. Like i said i love doin burnouts so worse case i have a tire i can beat on
I already have right at 1k miles THIS YEAR.. and yes with these POS Shinko 09 Ravens. I ride the bike if its above 40 out.. Matter of fact, I pushed my bike from where I live to the road because there was still snow in my drive and didn't want to waste a nice sunny day .
I'm not saying they are the best tires in the world. I AM saying they are above avg tire for someone who puts 10K or more miles on a bike a year and doesn't act like they are "insert your fav GP rider here" on the street..
Hell it seems that the same guys who are calling them junk are the ones who also bitch that people shouldn't ride on the street like they do the track..

I just gave up my season tickets to Talladega after 10 years.. I have been to over 20 tracks and 5 or 6 that are not even ran anymore.. You can't judge nascar by a race. It is a week long deal that you have to be part of to believe. We would get to Talladega on a Wed and stay in the FREE campground right at the track. We would leave Monday morning after the race. Here is my highlights..
1.) Camping and partying with the fans..
2.) Best invention in the world.. cheap ass beads on a string.
3.) Short tracks right near the main track. Especially dirt outlaws..
4.) Did I mention beads on a string?
5.) FOOD.. We had a friend from Texas who would bring his 100 gallon smoker.. WOW that guy could cook..
6.) All night parties and the special "Vegas Circle" where they played texas hold'em 24/7..
Nascar is not just about a race.. It is about fans having fun for 3 or 4 days straight then watching a race.

hell yea, dudes a pole smoker...

I would rather buy these tires and let you guys try and convince me that your more expensive tires are better for me..
I will get back to ya when I wreck because of the tires..
I don't do track days, I hardly really do curved roads and I am willing to bet I ride more miles than half the people here. The guy asked for peoples experience and I just told him. The highest price doesn't always equal the best. Especially for people who don't want to buy 4 sets of tires a year because those "best tires" don't last more then 4k miles. I bet if these tires were made by Yokohama you would be singing a different tune.. but wait they are the same materials, molds and technology..
http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=433271I have 12,000 miles on Shinko 009 tires on my '05 R12RT. The back is ready for replacement, but the front still has lots of tread. I put these on just prior to a 5,000 mile trip this past July. Rode with my brother in law with his Yamaha FJR. He is a speedster routinely taking 55mph corners at 80 or 90. I stayed with him with no handling problems. They do handle a little differently than the Pirellis, Michelins, etc that I had previously used, but didn't take long to get used to. In fact, I think that the Pirelli Diablo Strada is the best handling tire I have had on any of my bikes. The Pirellis last 5-6,000 miles and cost twice as much. The Shinkos work fine for me and I will buy again.
http://www.fjrowners.ws/discus/messages/2/29839.html?1109355179Before you say it, I know what you are thinking.......SHINKO TIRES? Hear me out!I am a former roadracer and have 150K or so street miles under my belt, so trust me when I say I know a thing or two about motorcycle tires!
I installed a set of Shinko Raven (009) tires a little while ago. The reason I did is because I work in the industy and one of our distributors is the main Shinko tire distributor for the US, so I got them REALLY cheap and they wanted a review from someone that actually know what he is talking about! These are basically their "high mileage" tire.
I am about 1000 miles into the set and have to say I am REALLY surprised! The tires have a pretty round profile to them, so turn in is slower than I am used to, but that is simply personal preference. Grip is so much better than I thought, I almost can't believe it! Once broken in, I could get all of the leaning angle I could on the Z6's and maybe then some, grip is quite good! I came off a set of Metzeler Z6's (great tires), but for the money, these are winners in my book. I also had the pleasure of riding about 200 miles in the rain and wet traction is great as well with no hydroplaning. Straight line stability is everything you would expect from the big guys and absolutely no headshake like I experienced with the stock Bridgestones, tread pattern is pretty cool looking (some care about that?) and it seems at this point that the mileage should be good as well. Side walls are really sturdy, no squirming, but enough flex to offer good feedback from the front and back end. For those looking for a much cheaper alternative to the big names, I would have to recommend you give these a shot! Oh and by the way, the materials, molds and technology built into these tires are from Yokohama!
When Yokohama went out of business they sold their motorcycle technology, molds, R&D material etc. to another Japanese company called Shinko. They are excellent tires, with good reviews all over the world. Their pricing reflects the fact that their name (Shinko) is not as well known as Michelin or Dunlop, but the quality is the same if not better. I happen to import scooter and motorcycle tires from Europe, and I know how much they cost to manufacture. The leading names are waaaaay overpriced, and as long customers are willing to pay those prices, they will be!Anyhow, I have a Shinko 009 on the back, sticks no problem. The weather is turning cooler, and I'll be converting to 005 which is a bit softer tire for cooler weather.
Two thumbs up for Shinko.

http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?t=44197&page=3Funny thing about Shinko and maxxus tires, lots of people who have never used them will tell you they're junk, BUT everyone I have talked to that have actually used the tires like them.There might be some sort of hidden meaning there.....
http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=18183afd756a23e7e292d8cf a385c659&topic=9282.0So my Dunlop D220s were finally toast (at least the rear was). I had worn the rear down to the steel cords and it was time for new shoes. I didn't have the kind of cash I used to, so I was looking for an "economical" solution to my problem. I also don't like to die, so I didn't want to try anything TOO shabby like used tires or retreads.I decided to take a chance on a set of tires I found for $140 (for both!) - The Shinko Raven 009. It's their sport-touring tire. WHat's a Shinko you ask? Same thing I thought and so I researched them online. Saw a number of positive reviews so went ahead a bought them.
I just got done with a 50 mile ride on these tires in less than ideal conditions (lots of wet & messy roads) and let me tell you - these tires are very, very good. They were brand new when I set out (changed 'em myself dontcha know) so I was taking it easy. Even so, I did't feel the slightest bobble or slip the whole time (and by halfway through the ride I was starting to ride more aggressively), and like I said the roads were nasty. They have a fairly round profile, so they don't "fall" into turns like other tires I've used. That suits my style just fine.
REAL GOOD review here..

Kyle, I thought you had the Shinko Stealth's?
Nope bought these... was under $180 mounted and balanced at Iron Pony..

I bought them for my busa last year. The only complaint I have is a little issue in VERY wet roads. I have no problems with traction and of course I own a busa so it can't turn anyways..
I ride my bike to and from work every day. This is about 100 miles of I-33 every day. I have about 6k on the tires now including our "spirited" trip to KY. The front looks great and the back will have to be replaced in a couple thousand miles.
As many FLAT non-curved miles I log I love the $$ of the tires. I spent less buying both tires and had them installed than just a stock rear. Can't beat the cost and I didn't notice any difference over stock busa tires other than they don't like very wet rainy roads..
If they are the same size as the busa, I will take them off your hands if you are set against using them..

This is the part where I call the Gov the retarded offspring of 5 monkeys having butt sex with a fish squirrel CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
"This money is for Gaza and to help strengthen the Palestinian Authority. It is not going to go to Hamas," the official told Reuters.
Soo we are footing 1/2 the bill then?Preliminary estimates put damage from the offensive, in which 1,300 Palestinians died, at nearly $2 billion.

Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009
in Dumpster
Posted
Just another way for "the man" to track everything we do and of course make us pay THEM to do it..
Then here is the BS that I don't want to have to deal with..
So now if I sell a gun I have to validate their license?Hell I don't have to renew my drivers license if I move until my they expire but god forbid I don't pay another $25 to change my address on my gun license.What is "timely"? Some people could go months without actually using/checking on a handgun. This is the BS that fucks people.. It is not cut and dry wording.Don't like this either... Sounds like if they get behind, you might go months before you can sell a gun if the Gov THINKS something is wrong or messed up.What about hunting? I see nothing here about hunting.. There is legal hunting guns that will fall in this bill. I read over the whole bill and either I missed it or I did not see anything about hunting. What if my 17 year old son, while hunting, was carrying a rifle or god forbid acidently shoots someone? Let me guess the next law will be you have to be 18 to hunt?LOL this would be good if we were starting with 0 guns. This is complete BS and will not solve any problems. There are millions upon millions of guns that are not registerd and used every day in crmininal acts. I also love how they just generalize youth and somehow people of youth can not operate a gun.
