    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Based on feedback here and my prior experience with Pirelli tires, I'm going with the Sport Demons. PO's tires are from 2008. :eek:

Ready to buy a set, but want to make sure these are correct.

Thanks!
 
Ended up saving another 37 bucks purchasing at Motorcycle Superstore. Delivery by Friday, free shipping. Very excited to get some new rubber and feel the difference.

2008? Mere striplings. When I put mine back on the road, the tyres on it were the same ones it had on before - ten years before.
They weren't new then, either. Can't say I had a moment's worry about it.
Then again, the bike was stored upright, on its centre stand and indoors, so UV degradation wasn't a problem. I did keep a careful eye on the possibility of cracking and signs of age, but it never happened. Those tyres wore out just like normal.
 
You have a point there, I'm just being safe. Do they LOOK ok? Yeah. Who knows how often the PO rode it, or how he stored it. For 200 bucks, it's worth it, IMO.
