You wrecked your bike? I didn't read about that here, but there must be a thread???

I am liking my new Dunlop Ft tire as a D 251 F is the stock size, and radial with the Sp 5000 rear. I just hope that ft lasts a while.

And yeah these car ties eat sick twisted sister roads for breakfast.

Very stable in hard corning atleast for me and more stable than mc rears IMO. The mts in NH are mosty twisted roads following rivers, and crossing east/west thru passes.

People have been angery with me for using some of these paved tight twisted road when I lead.

There are a few roads comparable to the Dragon, and near the Dragon there are even tighter roads, a few I discovered on my own. Those seem to be secret roads locals don't tell us tourists about.
