Hi brod,
I know a lot of the Bimmer jockeys rode on and swore by Connies, but I never tried them. My buddy with a R90S Bimmer rode Connies religeoudly. I swapped donuts on my first GPz1100 to some hyper Dunlops and came down with a case of the wobbles - like you see on the GP bikes under hard braking. Went straight back to the dealer and had the factories put back on.
The following morning, I called the tech engineer at Metzeler, told him of my experience, and asked what he recommended for a "z" hammering the S's in CO. They shipped a set of matched ME-99 Perfects to my favorite shop, and "..Wow.." stick'em city..!!! Nice to get what you pay for, aye.
In CO you can get a lot of transition from dry-to-wet-to-dry as you're zapping up through the canyons; probably a lot like northern CA. The "..Metz's.." handle the changes without the soak-in period of some of the other tires.
All a matter of experience I guess. But, if it's a crotch rocket in my garage - it's Metz's making contact with the ground. A lot of people tend to forget that the contact patch on a scooter is usually about the size of a book of matches - unless you're running superbike "..balgona.." sizes.
You know you're really dealing with a terminal Bozo, or an ultra-low-budget case, when you start to see someone on a 'rocket' mixing pairs of Connies & Dunnies, or Dunnies and Bridgies, or Bridgies and Discount Charlie's, or different series by the the same maker on a putt intended to boogie at 140+........ Bump/Crash/Oweee in the making, aye.
Stay upright, Dude.
