Always attracts a crowd Very Happy

I'm told by other RIII club members that it looks alarming riding behind me, with all that daylight under the tyre when cornering.

All I can say is, I've yet to meet someone who's tried the darkside then gone back to mc tyres.

Hello Steve,

Sure was quite an alarming sight riding behind you, seeing all the daylight under your tyre when cornering.

If I wasn't on the darkside myself, I don't think seeing that would have converted me Evil or Very Mad

Monkeyhanger has dropped out now, so will be riding down from Eurotunnel alone.

It is a custom made 'Predator' system, made by 'Travelguy' in California, from the www.r3owners.com forum.

Has a Supertrapp shorty silencer (muffler) with removeable baffles.

Thank you Jerry.

Still a work in progress.

Each time I think I've got it finished there seems to be something else I can't live without Rolling Eyes
