well dude i saw your bike and you need better tires for the canyons (tires are very important about riding)...Those street rated tires are not even good for the canyons at all......grab some 2cts or something if your gonna be doing a lot of canyon and street runs. or get some pirelli diablo supercorsa or dragon supercorsa pro which i always use.

yeah thats exactly what i was thinking. those were the tires that came with the bike when i bought the bike. can you throw me a few links of some sites that sell those tires for a good price? also what size tires would i be looking at getting for front and rear?

EDIT: checked out hardracing.com and it looks like they have some good deals on the tires

Actually, there are (3) things happening on that day.

The Rip's Bad Ride
SportBikeChat

Toyz-R-Us Show
Toyz R Us 6th Annual Truck & Car Show

Sport Compact Show
SpoCom 2009

I was thinking about peepin' the Toyz-R-US for a couple hours early then head out to LBC for the SpoCom show; which goes until 6:00.
..assuming I don't decide to peep out the Rip's Bad Ride.

6/23... Tuesday, anyone down for a ride in Malibu. Should be pretty fun and not many cars/bikes at all! Add your name to the list! Also... if we get enough people I'll be shooting photos for whoever would like them.

Rasiain knows this place better than I do. I have only been there once in a MG. They have a bunch of twisties and it's a beautiful place to ride. I am pretty sure he is going to go on this ride... and he has a route for us. Rasiain????
