I ordered some Sport demons from a local bike guy here, he said hed have em today, Today I call to see if I can pick them up and he tells me he "didnt feel like ordering such a small volume so hell just give me my money back." why the hell didnt he tell me this two weeks ago????  Bastard.  This is the same guy who told me that Gxr forks will fit with no modification :dunno_white: :cookoo:(thanks to this site i knew better) also tried to sell me a 4 banger exhaust for my bike. 

This is seriouly the last time I deal with this guy.  Jack ass :mad: :mad: :2guns:

Ok now, Where is the best(read cheapest) place to buy some Sport demon tires online?  the Suzuki shop will only place OEM tires on the bike unless i bring em in(no contract with tire manufatures appently)

also, Starting looking which will be better? BT45s or sport demons?  Im looking for performance and some decent milage.

Thanks yall.

Haha, I told you that guy was an @$$hole.

Sport Demons are much better performance wise, but you'll be lucky to get 5K miles from em.

BT-45s are decent enough for someone with your experience (or mine), and I've got about 12K on my rear right now.. I'm ordering a new one this Friday, when I get paid.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

I'm not sure about the cheapest right now, but www.americanmototire.com has good prices and selection and they were the cheapest for me when I ordered my Avon rear last year.  I would order from them again

Yes yes you did.  I went against my better judgement and dealt with him anyways.  that was stupid.  At least he gave me all my cash back

I've only had my BT45s for a month or two, but so far I love them compared to the shitty stock tires. They ride nice and have good traction to the edges. I think they are dual compound too.  :dunno_white: I got mine off eBay for pretty cheap.

it was cheaper to buy tires for two bikes and mount them, then it was at the local shop.

We must be doing something different....  I'm ~10k into mine... Yeah, they could probably be replaced... But, I'm lazy and cheap.

I took that mileage quote from Brian (Alphafire).. you're a slow old man.. :laugh: :laugh: I've never had SDs because I commute too much to justify them. I'm thinking about eventually having a set of spare rims/rotors and keeping commuting tires on my stock rims, and then having a spare set with sport demons or pilot powers (Since I have a 4.5" rear, I just haven't picked it up from lee yet).

BUUUUURRRRRRRNNNNN

Yeah, I was getting ~4k out of each rear tire, and 8k on the front before they were totally knackered. I switched to Pilot Powers at about 3k into the second rear tire and swapped back to the Sport Demons before I sold it.

Dude it was 2:30am and I was asleep. I had no idea what the hell was going on at the time because I was too busy freaking out that my phone was ringing and it was still dark outside. I was so confused.

You drunk Buddha Loves You.

Haha, I was a drunk Buddha Loves You. 3 jaeger bombs, 4 beers, one long island iced tea (which wasn't nearly as good as I've been told they are.. I was disappointed).. and my @$$hole friends had the waitress spike my sweet tea with vodka while I was in the bathroom.. it was actually pretty tasty... then when we left, (about 15 mins before I called you), I took 4 jaeger bombs and downed em back to back.. that might have been a bad idea... there was a reason behind it though.. I'll tell you on AIM later...

I'm going to a pimps and hoes party tonight.. I'll probably be wasted there too.. so I'll call you
