oh... cos during the trip i rode over wad i tot was a "sharp" piece of stone. then got this loud "pok" sound. sounded like something pierced into the tyre with force. see liao nothing leh, but was afraid it wld have cut the tyre causing cracks. had that exp b4. i also have this habit of always checking my tyres and chain during stops whenever i have the chance. i dunno to call it a bad habit anot leh haha... maybe i'm just over kiasu+kiasee keke... and oh man, those were new tyres!heart pain ah hahaha!

[anodise57]

Misterbean.. I heard 208 not tat advisable leh......

 

il4.... issit good???

 

hmmmmmm sounds interesting.. wats the price???? the line looks bit like BT 090pro when i was riding my S4.... interesting....

[Dino Bravo]

D208 on a blackbird? hmmm i think the grip is there la... but i heard that it will be used up very fast leh... maybe faster than an erection... hehe...

I received mix comments on it, some say good others say it sucks ... but the price was very much lower compared to my other choices ... $380 per set (using 190 rear) so decided to give it a try ... really need to change my existing BT020 fast as no confidence on them

 

Would have gone for Pirelli Diablo but my regular bike shop couldnt get any available stock ... they only managed to find Corsa ones which was quoted at $530 As for Metzeler, stocks were 2 year old already ... BT014 said no stock

 

If D208 turns out bad, go for more touring then change again lor

Hahaha ... me also confuse liao, cos get very contrasting comments on its grip, mileage and also how fast it warms up ... maybe best to try it out and see

 

Looks like my relationship with Dunlop will continue for quite a while (previously used TT900 and GPR70 for 2B and 2A bikes)

Yes, includes balancing. Done at Race Werks. Also servicing the forks there, plus some other works.

 

I sent my bike there on Wed night. You went there that night too? Romantic atmosphere that night cos due to some faults in the lighting
