    Tires, Tires, Tires. TakeOffs For Sale

    I've got a number of take offs for sale. Off the top of my head: 1. Dunlop 208GPs- Two trackdays and about 100 miles on the street. You could run them for two more trackdays and who knows how long on the street (4000 miles on your low hp 600?). I ran them on a Kawi ZX6RR so you know I wasn't...

    Old Riders

    An 80 year old man went to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in. The doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?" The old timer said, "I'm a dirt biker and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well before daylight on Sundays...
