First topic message reminder :

Car tyre on a scooter (or motorcycle) why is it called "Dark Side"?

My two pence (nod across the pond) - It is merely a "Granfalloon" and an attempt to make it seem cooler than it would otherwise.

Granfalloon - see "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut for clarity.

You mean Pneumants, they were the OE tyres on East German MZ two strokes, I didn't find them too bad and usually got about 8500 out of a rear tyre. Since 1994 the same company which has a factory in Dresden had made motorcycle tyres using the brand name Heidenau.

Some model of Heidenau seems to be the go to tire for the ADV crew.

This is for the Darksider non believers who say a motorcycle can't turn with a car tire mounted.

John.... are you listening? Big Bird, wanna take a look at this video?

My friend from a different forum races bikes. DooKoo and his friend are both on Goldwings with a car tire on the back. He has a camera mounted on the side of his bike.

Wing at the Track

I am just saying....

I wish you wouldn't; people can read all the previous posts about using car tyres on bikes so your latest post serves only to prolong the conflict.....and if you haven't proved your point after all this time, no amount of 'persuading' will make the slightest difference.

Well said Mike.

For those of us that do 'not' have a choice due to our countries laws find this lingering death fatiguing at best!

Or if you really must, can a Mod move all DW threads to their own section.

And whilst your at it move the GW thread to the far end of the universe. I am starting to get confused as to what forum I am browsing. Silver Wing or Gold Wing!!!!! Wink

What happened to the post I made ref: July 12 issue of RIDER magazine, car tire on Bikes story. Looks like somebody in "power"took it away......because they like car tires on bikes? Think it is worth a read.

John, I venture to suggest that as there are so many threads on the subject, finding a particular post in them is like looking for a needle in a haystack with even less chance of success.

No, not interested.
A car tire on a 2 wheeled vehicle is unsafe.
If it were safe, it would not be banned in some countries on this planet. Case closed.

I posted it as it is a friend of mine who posted the video on You tube. It is pertains to this particular thread.

IF you don't want to read it or look at the video fine. Why chastise someone for posting to a threat, subject matter pertaining to the thread.

Because you suggested I look at it knowing already that I think it is a stupid idea?

Yea... not to cause you any grief. It is pertaining to the OP. You have interest in this subject matter, otherwise you wouldn't be in on this thread.

We can agree to disagree, yes or no? Because I have a different opinion than you doesn't mean that I don't like you. I happen to enjoy your comments.

This thread is locked; arguments on one thread are bad enough - on two or more is unacceptable.
