No popcorn needed, Only listen to people running the darkside. I too was very skeptical, Cash out for an MC tire every 5K miles (Ok I ran em 2K too long to 7K) is sure cure for skepticism. I have that Crazy Marine to thank for first posting going Darkside, (You know who you are, Semper Fi and Happy B Day!) We have already posted the videos of darkside tires running curves. Google it or You Tube it yourself. No Roadstar with an MC tire is going to have more traction than one with a 'Car Tire' I use that term loosely because it's a DOT approved tire mounted on a Bike, that makes it a bike tire.

Going darkside one of 2 of the problems you have to get used to is SO much traction. The other is sticking to your line in a sharp curve when the weight is going from 50/50 two sidewals to 30/70. You have to have riding experience to have the discipline to stick with your plan, It will come to you, some quicker than others. If you rode dirt bike, the transition is easy.

It's NOT for everyone, No balls, no glory. I'm up on 5K here pretty soon on mine, About the time i would be looking for a new rear tire. And debating to go Darkside or not. Glad those days are over.
