It makes me wanna learn how to ride a bike now! I had planned on taking some classes last summer, but never got around to it. Plus, I only know like one guy who's got a bike. Seems like us DSMers are turning over to Bikes!...hahaha :D

I would match the pirelli that you will have on the back. They are some of the best out right now. The bridgestone BT014's are a good bang for the buck too.

I was looking on Bob's website and they didn't mention anything about Pirelli's on there. Can they order those?

The MN written test is very easy, I got my license in Wa many years ago, when I came here I took the written without any studying and passed with no issues at all. Not too tough. As soon as Chris gets the title for that GPZ750T I am after it. I miss riding, too much fun, not much compares to it.

Congrats again on the bike Erik, glad the guy accepted the offer. Should make for a fun summer!

I dunno. Their michelin pilot sports are a decent price, as are the bridgestone BT014's. Either would be fine for you right now, with the bridgestone probably lasting a bit longer, but still a good tire. The michelin will offer a little better performance. The one thing might be with the profile of the tires. All brands have a little different profile, that is why most people stick with the same brand front to rear.

I would order one from chaparral or something and have someone put it on.

Just like in cars, for proper handling (and safety) you watch matching tires front and rear.

I was thinking about going with new front and rear tires. If I can find the matching front tire, then I'll get it. But otherwise I think at this time I might just get both new and save the other one for a spare.

My bike comes with the BT014's, they stuck really good for me and are supposed to wear decent. Not to mention they are cheaper than Michelins.

That's probably what I'll look at.
