[dsn_klr650] "a" designations

[Dash Weeks]

I had a 110 on the rear. For super-slab, its probably borderline too knobby for you. I liked it on the road but for slab stuff I'd go with the Gripsters. I went in the other direction to a D606 for a bit of bite in the slick stuff. The 110 was a bit squirrely for me in the snot I was riding a few months back. The 110 is a better road tire than dirt tire but still probably not a super slab tire. Can't say anything about longevity, as I took it off while it was practically new. Hey were those Gripsters they used in a couple of parts of the M/C scene in M.I. 2? They used a lot of different tires for that sequence but I thought I saw gripsters in one of the tire shots. Those bikes looked killer with knobbies. Nice smoke job at speed too. LaterZ Dash At 03:28 AM 6/1/2000 +0000, Karl Raupp wrote:

Hey Karl, how do you like that TKC-80 Conti in the dirt? Have you had it in any sand? Jeff
