For years I ran Pirelli's Strada tires on my SVs and loved them for their grip and life. When I needed new tires last time the Stradas were no longer available, having been replaced by the Angels, and I was talked into trying out the Pilot Road 2Cts. While not a bad tire, I don't feel as comfortable on them as I did on my Stradas. 

I think I'm going to try out Angels this time around. I'm at the wear-bars on both the front and the back so I'm going to be needing tires soon. Have any of you used Angels? I have one friend who's used them and he doesn't care for them. Of course, we are two completely different body-types (he's about 5'7" at 135lbs soaking wet) and two completely different riding styles (I'm a bit more conservative).

Hey Jason, I am unsure as to where you are located world wise, however if you are stateside might I suggest Tire Rack. They may still have that tire in stock somewhere and will happily match prices and ship them to you. Just a tiip.

TireRack has motorcycle tires. I'll have to take a look, but the shop I go
to here in Denver is pretty good on prices.

Just ordered some. Not from TireRack, though. I couldn't find any motorcycle tires on there.

I apologize for the inconvenience. I was told they have all tires from an employee there.

Maybe they do, but I couldn't find a motorcycle section of their website and MAKE "Suzuki" wouldn't list ant bikes. 

No worries, I get a decent price where I go locally.

You can also try http://SimpleTire.com - They have tires online but at lower prices. :)

So, I post about my motorcycle tires conundrum and you, Brandon Swenson, reply with a website. Okay, that's cool. I'm always interested in a good deal. So, I click through to the website and guess what? There are no mention of motorcycle tires at all on that site! Cars, trucks, trailers are all represented, but motorcycles are not.

I haven't yet figured out if your comment is spam or if you're just ignorant of what you did there.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
