Darkside regrets?

I only have about 300 miles on my car tire, but so far my only regret is not having done it sooner.

Darkside regrets?

And keeps getting meaner and funnier!

My regret is when I get my 'nother Nomad I'm going to have to ride on the "Otherside" until I wear the tread down before I can get back on the "Darkside".

Naw, as soon as you get the new bike replace the stock tire with a good car tire. You can sell the stock M/C tire to one of those guys that thinks a car tire won't work on a motorcycle.

I use to tell folks about how aggressive You, Goose, Dickson and a few other were on the "Dragons Tail' with the CT. Now I can add that in my wreck the CT gripped very well in cart wheels and was one of the few salvageable parts.

So, would you all say the CT handled excellent on turns/twisties?
