flounder Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 AwesomeAll new for 2010, the Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact tire is set to redefine the motorcycle industry with its proprietary Chicken Strip Assessment Technology. Do your buddies brag about how far over they can lean their bike? How they’re the next Golden God of Canyon Carving? With Metzler’s Chicken Strip Assessment Technology system, there’s little doubt about how much you’re compensating for something else; and now you can rate your manhood on a scale from 1 to 5. Now go chase that crazy elephant! Chase him!http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/metzeler-sportec-m5-interact/#more-7993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 You didn't see the sportec M5ORN? Nice work skippy, but I'm on the elephant and so is Justin. Funny though I'd redo it but I'm lazy and a classic under achiever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4junkie Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 You dont sound real confident.Well only used it because that's what I bought the bike with and I knew my first trackday I wasn't going to be pushing the edge of the envelope. Once I get a new set of tires I'll be shopping other brands just due to preference. I did prove they can corner though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 thats kinda cool but on my metzs i have always hit the head of the elephant at least. that scale is kinda weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 When i ran street i used to love metzler. Since they are dam near the same as pirelli they are great tires. The little elephant is easy to get rid of,but his feet will always be there on the front lol. I like what they are doing with the angles and now the m5's.
