Should we have a "Darkside" forum
I've noticed we have a number of members who ride on car tires (myself included). IMHO we should have Darkside forum where folks can go to post or search for info regarding experiences and types of car tires used on our bikes. Just a thought.

We have a board in the Technical section that already has a lot of info posted on it regarding car tires.

Thanks ring, I thought maybe something easier to find would be more beneficial and allow for more discussion. Having said that, I appreciate the links you posted there =)

They are all out trying to find that ever elusive "sweet spot " so the bike will handle better than any motorcycle tire they have tried. Once they find that they will be on here telling you how they will never ever go back to a MC tire.

It is a secret society, and not everyone is capable of bearing the pressure of having an extremely smooth riding and handling machine. The fact that you can get triple or more miles out of it is just a plus.........

Actually there is a darkside forum on "Delphi Forums" IMO that is where I would and have posted info unless someone here has a question.

Practically: Once I put my CT on, I kind of lost interest. Don't have to think about what's next for about 40K miles. Hardly anything to discuss -- unless TC chimes in, of course.
