I remember that picture, your right, you wouldn't have any trouble standing over the seat to do a burnout.

Thought A little update might be in order got about 2500 on the pilot roads and they are doing fine. The back one is squaring off a bit but, been doing a lot of 2 up riding and more slab than I would like. After the first 200 miles and getting the chicken strips off they seem to fall into the corners a little better. The only problem I see so far is that I am not gonna get much mileage out of them they will be toast @ im guessing 6000-7000 miles. But I guess thats the trade off for a softer compound stickyer tire
