Are you an Elephant killer ? To qualify you must knock him off the feet . Clipping the tail don't count .

That pachyderm would be MIA on my busa.

 

[dadofthree]

The elephant is extinct around my house.

 

[Taylor]

Going to get these tires here soon. See how they do

 

[BusaWhipped]

Aren't elephant's an endangered species?

 

[semi]

Not in VaB's world. In fact, omslaw told me that you could get a side of chicken planks to go with your elephant steak at her house.

Neat, I like that. Unfortunately right now I would have a decapitated elephant

What a great idea. Other manufacturers will be copying this.

I think I'd put a chicken on the end instead of an elephant; after all, they aren't called "chicken strips" for nothing

 

[ogre]

the elephant would have at least a flat top, possibly a cropped tail as well.

Most of the brands have something where the elephant is. They just don't have the "chicken" gauge going up to the center.

 

[Blanca BusaLess]

Nope my elephant would still be a baby and like new by the time my tire was worn out.
Is there one down the centerline?

 

[ruder]

Judging by the performance of the Racetecs I had, these tires should be very good. I would love to hear how people find them on the road.

the elephant think is funny..lol
any they better than Q'2?

 

[Fastfrog007]

I have a Big Fat elephant sanctuary

 

[I Love My Wife]

Chicken anyone? My PR 2 is almost flat down the middle, did an 800 mile weekend 2-up and when we got home my jaw dropped.

 

[Taylor]

put these tires on this weekend, feel great, I have around 250 miles on them and road them just like the K3 interacts I had on the bike before, grip felt just as good, I pushed them just about as hard as I could on some back roads and felt great, I did get into the elephant, but just the trunk.

confidence inspiring tires, highly recommend

Metzler is slow on updating their website - I was also curious about the new M8 tire .

Thanks for the M5 feedback - I haven't seen them for sale yet - where did you buy them?

 

[Rainbow7]

I'd give that elephant a close haircut, but that'd be about it.

My dealership got them for me and installed them.

Its better compared to K3 for touring
