New Tires Being Installed on the RS

[Ray]

Did you notice that Darrell color matched the towel with his bike? He's bringing an "A" game to the Shop Towel Competition.
....

You are getting to know Darrell. Most of us would have only commented had the towel NOT matched the color scheme (or if the straps were twisted, or the tires sat a little wonky). (See next post).

My bike goes in for similar service tomorrow. If any good, I'll post a photo of my loaner.

Though more stale than Darrell's find from his consulting work for Dunlop (freebies? - if so, it's OK; you work hard for what you get, and we're not jealous...), I'm back to the Metzler R01s with regular front and 2-ply "heavy weight" (HWM) rear. I didn't go with the SEs because, although Metzler has an internal part number for it, they never produced the rear 2-ply version - and I really liked the feel I have had with that tire when fully loaded up and breaking free a little in corners.

(Interestingly, no IPN for an HWM front SE, so maybe they'll run a few through next year for RS riders.)
