This is a pic of my Pirelli Diablo rear tyre after about 4000 klms of touring with my lady. 100% road riding, no footpeg scraping and a average speed of about 80mph Had to get it replaced mid tour. Now I always buy new tyres before going on holiday. Even thou this tyre was munted, it was still...

My 2000 Busa has 65000ks on it and is running great

Arai RX7 Corsair Light, Cool and a great fit. Lots of vents for demisting and air flow, great at high speed.
