    Mark, you are the man.

    Now I need to worry about finding Dunlops that are English and not US spec. This could get tricky. I'm thinking my best bet may be take-offs from one of you guys. Anything has to be better than what I have right? I mean, mine have TONS of meat left but the age & hot/cold storage is said to have killed them. Not that I'd know, I'm just a novice, but that's what the guys in the know keep telling me.

    Yeah, yeah, I know... I just posted up on NEAREX looking for takeoffs from some fast guys. Hopefully Mark or BJ comes through. BJ tends to have take-offs by the dozen, that's where I got my rains

    I just feel like I'd be faster on new ones. I know it's stupid since I'm 8 seconds off the pace these guys are running, but still...

    Eh, $ is $. I'm sure their takeoffs are good enough for me. I'll go that route.

    Wasn't talking about take offs.

    I was heading more toward.......or you could get on a bike where quandaries like this aren't an issue? No?

    Haha, yeah, there is always that. I still def. want a MW, but $ isn't what I'd hoped it would be at the moment. We'll see how the next lil bit treats me.

    Thing is, even if I get another bike, I'll still want to keep the EX.

    I believe the dunlops are marked with made in england on the uk fronts. If its a buffalo front it is obviously not marked "made in england". Fyi

    Yes, Dunlops are marked as "Made In England". Mine say it.
