    MarkB All's well that ends well

    With all the boycotting of French goods going on, I have decided to take a stand and refrain from eating Brie and bread. Furthermore, I will not be washing down the brie and bread (that I am not having) with Merlot.

    Just wondering though, how many of you Michelin shod racers will be switching brands from those treacherous French rubbers???;)

    Don't be - all Super Motard means is Super Bikers which was the name of the TV show (n ABC?) that started the whole thing. ALl the French did was keep running similar races while the rest of us waitied for better bikes to play on :)

    So, just call it Super Bikers and you'll be fine.

    Mongo -

    Does WERA have a class for the motards? I remember reading this awhile back but couldn't find the thread. What will happen at tracks like Barber? Will we run a shortened circuit? Have you read the new AMA rules for their motard series? Interesting stuff...

    Pirellis on a jeep? I'll hook you up with some nice Scorpions Zero's if you want:D We now make this size if you can get your head round it - 305/35ZR24 That is one large MF tire.

    Need any testing?!? :D

    The Super Swampers are nice but they are going to wear out sooner or later (probly sooner as sticky as they are). Of ocurse I'd prefer something in a 31/9.5/15 size... Dunno if I can get a 24" rim for the Jeep that ain't a little on the bling side of life.

    Yeah, we're totally Blinged out up here in Rome, GA. Sizes range from 22" to 24" - All of them low-profile SUV's. Nice tires, but kinda expensive at $788.03 list-price EACH !!! (can get you a 54% discount, but hey...:rolleyes: They're putting them on the limited edition 500hp Dodge trucks etc.
    Anyhoo...
