The Video Camera is mounted under the bike, filming the rear tire. Will make another one when I get the car tire mounted.

Dag, this is a totaly different view of a bike. Never seen that before. I change the rear tire of my US bike to a car tire this year. To be prepared for my 10.000 mls iron butt ride.  |

By comparing dags mt with the ct, you can see the ct still has more rubber on the road, even when dragging hard parts.

I bought a KUMO tire a few weeks ago, but will not use it. I have received several emails from people telling me that tire is on the "DANGER LIST". I bougt another tire today, a Altimax (only I could find in this town with a DS history on)  |

That Ultimax is a nice looking Tire, i just recently installed a Triple Tread Goodyear the Altimax was 2nd in line but in my area the Goodyear was alot easy accesible. Great Vid anxious to see the Darkside Video! I bought a KUMO tire a few weeks ago, but will not use it. I have received several emails from people telling me that tire is on the "DANGER LIST".

Dag, I ran that kumho and didn't have any problems with it.It did seem to wear out fairly fast for a darkside tire. Design is real close to a cooper zeon 2.

I like the way the rear suspension rises when you accelerate. The old drive shaft lift. Hoser |
