Have you considered Pirelli Scorpion Syncs?

They came stock on the 950sm's and really did a decent job.  I think I managed 4000 or 4500 on mine and my bike eats tires.  Or at least the way I operate it eats tires ;D

Good enough to drag knee with and good enough to keep you upright on those roads you've been riding.

Guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I fell today, actually twice. The first was just silly but the second kinda sucked. Got both on video. Pulling it off the GoPro now.
Seems like falling is part of the deal riding off the bitumen (I'm getting good at it now  [laugh]).  Nothing too bent or broken hopefully.

Tyres..... I need to use something less knobby that the Pirelli MT21/Mitas E09 combo I currently have on the DR.  Something more 50/50....

House is getting wrapped up nicely there Nate  [thumbsup]. I really dunno how you work out in that cold though.....

Morning  [coffee].

It was 40 today, but we can work at a lot colder if we don't have to get anything to dry...or stick. :P

All the snow that was on the roof melted off.

Of course it will snow again soon enough.  [bang]

Evening. The weather has been cooperating (No snow) so Joy and I have been getting some painting done. This is a huge improvement over the old peeling paint.

Every thing is so blah colored around here, we decided to shake things up. Make it look like the mission district. Or Havana or something.
The down I live in is largely depressed and unsightly.

You don't need to defend it to me.

It's your place. You should paint it whatever color that make Joy happy. ;D
