    this was taken thursday getting the bike ready to be soaked at the Northwest 200!! What a washout of a weekend unfortunately. 520kms excluding the spin from Derry to Portrush.

    Maddocks in Bray

    They used to only do Bmw,s but they have started doing tyres now for all bikes at very good prices

    My mate with the 600rr got a set of Corsa 2,s off them a few weeks ago

    As far as i no they only stock Metzler and Pirelli but im sure they would order in any tyre

    Cotters in Ballymount are also very good when it comes to tyres.

    I got a new Pirelli Diablo rear for the RR a few weeks back in Cotters, €140 fitted and balanced.

    The Diablos are excellent IMO, great grip and feel from.

    I have these on my GSX1400 and I find them as good as you'd expect. I'm sure every bike and rider are different but I got them last Autumn and found that in the cold weather they weren't the most assured tyre there was in the wet or dry. Since April. it's been very noticeably better. Just bear it in mind if you find yourself keeping tyres for long periods of time. They're wearing very slowly to be fair...

    I found them to wear much quicker than I thought they would. Particularly toward the end of their life. They do the business otherwise to be fair. I keep swearing I'll not have them again but life keeps intervening to give me more... my feckin' Mille has a set :rolleyes:

    I got over 20,000 klms from a set of PR2's (no joke) most of the lads off here can testify to that. Got them on the bike when I bought it they served me very well. And I aint talking nipping down to the shops for a bottle of milk either.....great mileage and great tyre.

    Not trying to disrespect at any way bro, but this beast can swit h on any car alarm with current setup, no need to change at all. Flames aint good for aprilia engine build quality. Own experience rsv mille ex-owner

    And i have the stuby can currently on my blade, its an overkill, ear plugs need to be on scene - not sure why neibhours are not saying hello to me anymore.. Lol
