The Dark Side For those members running "Car Tires" on their scoots. This is for their discussion only and not a place for "non dark siders" to mouth off about their negative opinions of this idea!

Looks like a Goodyear Triple tread to me. Excellent choice.

Running darkside is like running apes - plenty of people who have never done it but are more than ready to tell you how bad it is. I wonder how many would change their mind if they just tried it for a month.

Sign I had in my shop at work - Those who say it can't be done should stay out of the way of those who are doing it...

After ya get used to the tire, leaning is just like any other bike. The roads in Virginia, PA, MD, WV, OH, MI, NC, SC, TN & KY don't present any real problems. Sometimes when a road has deep ruts in the asphalt approaching traffic lights will present a slight problem. The tire wants to tip on the walls of the ruts. Riding slow, ya have to wrestle it but at speed, it's no different than a MT.
