Quote:What sort of K’s are you getting out of the retreads Ollie?Moto I have done about 10 rides on the Rear and it is still ok,The leading edge has rounded off a bit now and makes it interesting in the wet but you would expect this from any tyre. A new tyre would have been good on prick hill on the weekend!:laugh: The fronts are very good in my opinion and last well.

In all honesty I have not heard of a lot of bad reports on the retreads,my all time favorite tyre would have to be the Metzeler MC5,but at $130+ :dry: I have not bought one of those for a long time. I have seen Tripper on the gas and any tyre that can hold up to that punishment cant be all that bad:laugh:

AnonymousOctober 14, 2008 at 9:58 pm #109403Nah apparently it is a goer.It probably only fires every forth telegraph pole!!
There are some seriously smart people around that build stuff like that..There is a bloke here in Wauchope that has a jet powered GSX1000 using a jet engine he made in his back shed.And another who is Crippy’s uncle, that cut the end off a V8 engine and made a mad V twin and fitted it to a bike!!!October 14, 2008 at 10:02 pm #109408
AnonymousI wanna know what that engine is then if it’s real!
October 14, 2008 at 10:09 pm #109409I do believe that it is hand made and it is about 5 liter capacity,I bet you have to use the decomp to start her!!
I have also seen a engine for one of those swamp boats with the big fan on the back with a radial engine made with 12 XR600 engines!!It was also made by an Aussie.October 14, 2008 at 10:13 pm #109411micknmeld wrote:
