  1. Me neither but it looks as though I do cos I have a not too shameful chicken strip on the right hand side and a big fat bloater on the left. Its because I live in a town, honest!
     
  2. I can only say sorry, it was the fuglystrada wot done it...

  3. pthats more like it!
     
  4. It was indeed just a light hearted post, 6 miles from tyre shop to my home address in rush hour traffic. As long as we all have fun and enjoy riding who cares how near the edge of the tyre we can all get. Anyway I will report back sometime with how good or bad these Roadsmarts are. Ttfn
     
  5. 6 miles!?:eek:

    I'd have worn out my elbow sliders by then...

  6. The nice man that fitted them said be careful for first few miles or you may fall off going round corners ;-)
     
  7. Pah! What does he know:mad:
     

  8. So would I. Well, er no. Actually only if I fell off.....:tongue:
     
  9. I am on my 2nd Roadsmart rear (same front), so have done about 6k on them in total. Decent in the wet, stable and more than grippy enough for edge of rear tyre riding in the dry. Overall better than OE Scorpions, especially the turn in and stability of the front.
     
  10. Had the RoadSmart 2's on my Tuono, thought they were great . My ability would run out long before grip would. I do like the Dunlop carcass profiles and will certainly be getting the Roadsmart 2's when the scorpions are up for change.
     
  11. I have been round and round a roundabout a few times today and seem to be getting almost to the edge......what a speed demon I am :wink:
    this time next year I might be able to wheelie the f%@ker too :biggrin:

    Not a perticularly good photo but I think you'll get the message. Andy PS - this is my girl friend's Diavel.
