I thought about it after I sensed a bit of sarcasm in your reply! MS1700 is a vetern Darksider, I've read his posts while I was considering it! I'm sorry, MS1700, for being dumb!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #234177 Schatzie (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 159 Re:Darkside tires? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   smhowse wrote: BadBikerBob wrote: MS1700 wrote: Well, What IS a Darkside tire?

I can just picture Bob typing with such intent, trying to help this poor, helpless, uninformed soul, and educate him as to what the Darkside tire is...ROFLMAO...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #234184 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 6914 Re:Darkside tires? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   So far I would have to admit, this is the funniest "Darkside" thread yet. Let's see.... I'm 2 tired Looks to young to be "retired" He's eats too much he's got a spare tire..or 2... and now we are telling MS1700 WHAT a Darkside tire is this is great!   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/10/30 17:14 By Darn.   Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234235 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2502 Re:Darkside tires? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Well, Bad BikerBob, I have to admit it was an extremely sarcastic post But I did learn something there by the picture you posted, I had no idea you could run Darkside , dual exhaust AND a trailer hitch all at the same time! So just being funny, posting that and hoping someone would fall into it, I learned something to boot! Thanks for the laugh and thanks for the info! I Like that Dual Exhaust look AND the hitch I never imagines would fit with that wide a Tire in there! But, your entirely responsible for the wad of cash I might spend now that I saw that picture! Schatzie always wants a Trailer along for more of a choice in clothing. Well, on second thought I might just leave her half a saddle bag at that come to think about it!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #234246 smhowse (Moderator) Book em Dan-o!

It's like any thing else in life you have to fine tune it to your liking.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #234295 The Gardener (User) OCR Gold Boarder Posts: 618 Re:Darkside tires? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   cheaper back tire means more burnouts at stoplights!   Logged     you can find more about me & my R* on: http://www.facebook.com/davida.johansen   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234302 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2502 Re:Darkside tires? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   The Gardener wrote: cheaper back tire means more burnouts at stoplights! If burnouts is your deal, Then don't go Darkside! It's way too much traction and you'd fry your tranny for sure. It works in loose stone and dirt but on pavement the bike just launches forward, If i had a better clutch I might be able to hold a wheelie.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
