Nope that's when some of us started calling you on your lies. It's
just that simple you none riding bastard.

Uh actually it would by you. When called on your BS and out right
lies, plagerism and cut and paste theft you get upset and start
slinging mud and prevarcating. Things you really shouldn't try with
your betters...especially when said betters are better at all that and
more. Some of us like wrestling the pig and making it mad by winning
whilst staying clean. Now piggy I suggest you piss off...people of
your class arent' good enough to be around mtorocyclists.

I was talking to some guy I knew from a motorcycle e-mail list in Los
Angeles and he had a set mounted on his 1986 750 Interceptor.
I asked him if they were any good and he claimed to like them.
Also, the leader of that particular band of bikers said that BT45's
came as original equipment on his Hinkley Triumphs.
He said that the BT45 was adequate but the initial traction level
faded quickly.
But, I figured that I was going to ride with that crew quite a bit in
the Santa Monica mountains of Southern California, where you can't go
very fast anyway because it's all tight and twisty and the curves are
all blind on the mountain side.
I quickly discovered that the BT45's squirmed noticeably when the
traction level increased due to the size of the pea gravel used in the
macadam mixture.
I also noticed that the BT45's lacked resistance to crosswinds when I
got blown across my lane into the oncoming lane.
When I see an 18-wheeled truck coming the opposite way, I will pull
over completely to the righthand side of the road and slow down as
much as possible to avoid being tossed around by the trailing
vortices.
The Dunlop K-591 tire I previously had on the rear was very resistant
to crosswinds because it was 20mm wider and it also didn't have those
deep water channels.
So far I have about 5000 miles on the BT45's and it looks like the
rear has only
worn 2mm maximum...

I have a set of BT45V's mounted on my old GSXR750, and I rode 100
miles on them last week.
The Sierra Nevada pass that I rode over has fairly light traffic, but
a lot of cattle trucks and trailers and tradesmen trucks go up there,
so the road is rough.
It's open range country too, so I had to dodge steers and cows and
calves and pick my way through the cow poop.
All in all, it was a rough ride, just like Usenet, and the BT45's
didn't improve my comfort.

Wouldn't be anything to do with the shtty old bike they were fitted to,
then.
Face it: all your pronouncements about 600Rs are nonsense.
In fact, all your pronouncements about anything are nonsense.
