Never did push them at all. Great feel over all kinds of bumps/ruts/cracks. They don't seem to be the crack hounds the old D207s were...

They were fine for the speeds and abuse given to them. Probably about the 60% or so area in the dry. No complaints. They "look" right, felt fine. In the wet, they were good. I was noticing a huge amount of water being shredded from XL's wake. So they definetly work good in full wet/pouring rain.

Damn dude, you have got to be the most un-lucky guy in the world. 1st, the cbr-rr, then the zx-10, and now the "blue bike". all work and no play....

More. What about the super secret pictures of me leading XL in the dry? Oh wait, I think we were all riding at that time. Dam.... Oh well, we know who fast and who's the sandbagger.
Hey, did I ever mention that you're kinda pretty fast yourself?

me... I'm slow... I just turned my brain off and said "follow the red dot" (that was you...) it was the only thing I could see between the rain and the darkness etc by the end... "just follow the red dot"... ____________ What business is it of yours where I'm from, Friendo?

I hear ya MM. But in fairness, once you reach a certain level of comfort on the roads we ride on, it's much more about the rider, than the bike. So in other words, if I was on the 636, I'd still be in front.
Funny thing was, I didn't realize he was even on the 636 until we got to the Lookout (about 30 or so into the ride). I'm telling ya, at first glance they don't look that different. I just assumed we were all on 10's.... That XL, he's a sneakie bastard......
