I consider myself an average rider, but i don't want to get taken out by someone on wore out tires or riding over their head.

I usually run my teammate's Pirelli race take-offs on my street bike when he's done with them (my own take-offs are 160's, my street bike takes a 180). A lot of street-only riders look at me like I've got three heads when they look at my tires. It always makes me chuckle

If they ask, I usually tell em the truth & say the tires have some race laps on em... but sometimes I'll play it up a bit & either just give them a head nod as if to say "yeah, that's right... I'm fast" or say I shredded em on my favorite back roads

Yea good to think about, but track tires typically ball up rubber way more than than you can get on the street, so that kind of gives it away.

Over the past two years i have had tow riders go down while i was leading the group ride. Both had really worn out front tire and this most likely played a hufe factor in the crashes.

Gettin back to the chicken strip issue. I am trying to figure out how to change the pegs on my KTM950SM as i am drggin the crap out of them before the chicken strips are all gone. I am looking at these, but they are not made for the KTM

I have tinkered with my wifes SV650S pegs and think i can buy a setup for the SV and make them work on the Katoom with a little work.

I want to so the opposite of what was done on this thread where they lowered the pegs.
