good to hear everything went well!
tires are a confidence thing - most of us probably don't absolutely "need" DOT's but I sure as hell feel more confident riding on them
Yeah I hear you for sure, these hybrids have been amazing, I just want to see if I can notice a difference with DOT's; if not I'll switch back because they're cheaper

I didn't make it, but a number of friends I ride with were there. Kurt on a Ducati #5, Charlie on a SV # 70 (or is it 710), and John on a red GSXR 600. They all said it was a good time.
I know I saw a red gsxr out there, there were multiple SV's and I don't know about the Duc; it was a good group for sure. I threw a short clip up on vimeo (youtube was giving me problems) of the GoPro on the side of the bike, I meant to get my knee on the deck but missed. It is neat to watch the rear tire though, how if flattens out on the side when leaned over. There was a fast dude on a Buell stalking me for some of this clip, shortly after he broke his chain

turns out threadlock isn't foolproof. My front felt like it started to go away towards the end, I think I'm going to make the switch to DOT's. I wish my warmers fit a 190 because I'm hearing so much good about the Dunlops. I guess I'll stick with Bstones for now which I'm sure will be fantastic also.
