OMFG. This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen in my life. Did you brainstorm that one all by yourself or did Honda of Dumbfuckistan install it for you? Nice douche move on promoting the video. How does it feel to pitch such MONUMENTAL STUPIDITY on the net? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE don't breed. Ever.

@Muzzy337

Thats exacly what I said one year ago. I actually I made this video to proove how how stupid this was. During a discussion on a mc board I said I would rather put mc tires on my car than a car tire on my mc :-)

I had to try it to understand how wrong I was. I have learned not to comment on things I do not have experience with.

that's horrible contact . in your turns less that 40% of the tire had road contact. on in a line drive it had full contact when you only want 20% or less. this tire will provide horrible traction in turns and horrible gas mileage.

[Dag1520]

MORE contact patch in corners that mc tire. I have more that 10K miles in this tire now. The gas milage is as before :-)

Ha guy's i'm a old dog and have been riding a long time. Back in 1970 my GF and I lost the stock MC tire on my 750 Honda ( the Valkyrie of it's day ) we were lucky not to have died that day. When I got it home I pulled the rear wheel and had a Harley rim spoked up and a car tire mounted up and now you call it the Dark Side I am a believer. By the way my bike of choice now is my classic 1998 Honda Valkyrie, good luck with your tire dilemma I've made mine.

I dont get it?? Car tires are for car and motorcycle tires are for motorcycle...

If you want to be cheap and risk your life or just look stupid by other bikers i guess go for it. For me, i choose my life and enjoy my hobby as how it should be.

I never cease to be amazed by all the idiots saying a car tire is unsafe on a bike, based on zero experience. I wouldn't put a mc tire on the back of my bike if you gave it to me for free. Real riders, who have really ridden on a car tire, know that it is safer than a mc tire. Internet trolls can troll all they want, but I'm just going to keep riding on my car tire.

@jimirsaysbuddy Can you spell body cast?

[jimirsaysbuddy]

@Muzzy337 So, your gold medal is for spelling... Can't talk right now. I have to go ride my scary motorcycle while holding scissors. Let's see, did I spell everything correctly.

[Muzzy337]

@jimirsaysbuddy At least I know how to spell 'olympics', you asshole.

[jimirsaysbuddy]

@Muzzy337 Well if you thought that was stupid, chew on this a while. I also bandsaw the material from premium car disc brake pads and, after a little creative machining, epoxy them on my Valk backing plates. EBC pads -$37.00 for two. Mine $22.00 for four. And no, I've never lost a pad in over 100,000 miles. I use the same epoxy that the big boys use. Cheer up. You've still got your gold medal from the Special Olypics.

[Muzzy337]

@jimirsaysbuddy Proof you can't fix stupid.

[jimirsaysbuddy]

@Muzzy337 No, what is stupid is paying $300 for a bike tire that get 8,000 miles of life. I just mounted my second car tire on my Valk after 28,000 miles of EXCELLENT traction, wet and dry, and no loss of cornering control, for $74. That is a ten to one cost per mile savings. There are thousands of guys riding on car tires now.

@Dag1520 I agree Dag, I'm a darksider now as well. I'll NEVER go aback to a bike tire. The BIKE tire is where the insanity is. Car tire is much much safer IMHO. Rides like it's on rails. I keep mine between 32 and 34psi, and 38-40 psi up front. Smartest thing I've ever done. The ONLY one's that say it's dangerous, are the ones who have NEVER tried it. Stay on the DarkSide brudda.
