Now, what model and year is your Ducati, and what kind of rubber do you run on it?





Diablo Supercorsas, by Pirelli. Wore out one rear tire, replacement cost

about $250. Front tire still good, replacement about $115 less.

I don't see what advantage it is to put a bald racing tire on a street bike to go putting around the country. Unless this is an 'exceptional' street Duck that isn't acquainted with speeds less than 90 mph.

I wouldn't want racing tires unless I was racing. The thing must be a bitch to ride in wet weather.



As a matter of fact, I believe these are the standard tires on certain
Duc superbikes, which are, indeed, used on the street.

But they're not the tires on my bike. As I previously stated, this is
rec.boats, and I don't post vehicle details in this right-wing pigpen.

My bike, however, does have Pirelli tires.


I believe Pirelli does make scooter tires. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. But, I do believe you're
telling another lie about your Ducati motorcycle. Sorry.

As to the 'right-wing pigpen' - you will have noticed that your absence actually helped the
atmosphere of the place very much. You wouldn't have been able to identify 'right' or 'left'.
