Finally she got her new shoes. I ordered them last week, and took her for a long ride from Mexico City to Puebla City on Sunday...
The old rubber bit my ass! Yep, on the interstate a car braked out of nowhere and I was able to stop, but as I was comming to a full stop the stupid front tire broke free...
And I was standing, with my bike, on the floor, between my legs...
Stupid 13 year old Dunlop Sportmax, and even dumber me for riding on that old rotten POS. (The rear was another Dunlop, a standard tire, that one wasn't that bad, except for the part that it lost a lot of air).
Well, here they are, Pirelli MT75 110/70-17 on the front, and Pirelli MT75 150/70-17 on the rear. I already rode them on the rain, and God, I swear this MT75s stick better on the rain that the old tires on the dry! Bike no longer feels reluctant to turn, no more squared off rear tire and mismatched set of tires.
Before any one says it: Look at those chicken stripes!!! (or should I say, chicken steaks??)
Gee, I can't wait till I try them on the track! It is a 1.8 km track and the longest straight is 800m, so I doubt I'll even have a chance to exceed the rated speed of 190km/h on those things. :fiddy
