The two sets of RS10 lasted about 5K and the S20 Bridgestone did 7K. Not much really. I'm going to stick with the S21's for the moment and hopefully get 7K out of them.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-35671065801337636392016-10-19T21:41:36.838+11:002016-10-19T21:41:36.838+11:00I didn't want to mention that you look like a ...I didn't want to mention that you look like a hobo......Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-75255823672463374012016-10-19T21:41:09.637+11:002016-10-19T21:41:09.637+11:00Can't corner with car tyres Andrew, but thanks...Can't corner with car tyres Andrew, but thanks for the heads up.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-34559846945330953142016-10-19T21:40:29.799+11:002016-10-19T21:40:29.799+11:00Yes the speed limit is so low there its a joke.

And he was right so I doubled my mileage to about 6000k per set with no loss of corner confidence but more spin up out of bends (no traction control then) and more squirm and movement under braking. Cannot recall what tyres I moved to, no matter as too long ago. Then I got hooked on spinning it up out of corners which the tyre shop welcomed ... <br /><br />P.S. This is Iron Chef. I switched my blogger profile. Anyway I see you got confused you were in the US on one of those photos... Must have been distracted looking at the speedo to ensure you were under 60 ;)Motorcycle Paradise https://www.blogger.com/profile/13402800735593646123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-36617291898789354132016-10-11T16:21:09.218+11:002016-10-11T16:21:09.218+11:00i gotta learn to tuck my t shirt in...i gotta learn to tuck my t shirt in...Bushpighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062074143710788641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-73606948157279735652016-10-10T17:42:27.974+11:002016-10-10T17:42:27.974+11:00I hear that the guys that run car tyres get insane...I hear that the guys that run car tyres get insane mileage - have you considered trying some?<br /><br />Mint pic of the R1 in motion and the one by the tunnel is pretty cool too!Andrew Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716829007873864871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-3472270200256922942016-10-10T03:27:47.574+11:002016-10-10T03:27:47.574+11:00Great pictures.

Some of our in town speeds are that high or higher.
