You're not even capable of coming across as a simple troglodyte.
Gaidheal
> Well?
Never heard of the Shinko brand before.
"In 1998 the Shinko Group purchased the motorcycle tire technology and
molds from Yokohama Rubber Co., and began production of these products
under the Shinko Tire brand. With manufacturing based in South Korea
and design based in Japan, the company has seamlessly combined
Japanese engineering and design principles with South Korean
production and quality control standards. Today Shinko Tires produces
approximately 200,000 motorcycle tires per month."
I suppose Shinko builds car tires, too...
Yokohoma tires were never popular in the USA, and I haven't seen any
in the last 20 years. A Japanese acquaintance who got me interested in
going road racing
had one set of Yokohomas on his GSXR because he got them free...
Another acquaintance used a set of soft Yokohomas on his Mazda RX-7
when he went slalom racing.
When a Japanese company moves to Korea for production, it's because of
cheaper labor. I can't say anything about quality.

Ducati riders in Hollywood can afford to pay full MSRP at the Euro

a set of
Pirellis.

Krusty, you silly old twat, are you still around? I wouldn't ordinarily
have even seen your post, but someone else replied so there it was,
stunning in all its real-life accuracy.
In the tire types and sizes that I personally use, Shinkos are about
40-50% the cost of most quality tires. That's at a real
honest-to-goodness store, not from the OEMs' Web sites. There are lots
of reports of the tread blocks ripping off under reasonable loads. I
reckon they're about 40-50% of the quality of real tires, such as those
from Metzeler, Continental, Michelin, Dunlop, Heidenau, etc. I'm under
no illusions that other styles of Shinko tires are any better, when
comparing the same styles.

Sorry, I didn't know I needed to introduce myself here.
I didn't realize that asking for advice about my motorcycle in a motorcycle
forum was rude.
I didn't realize that trying to clarify my request when the responses I got
were not clear was rude.
I didn't realize that I was not supposed to insult posters who replied with
sarcastic, off-topic, or unhelpful responses.
I didn't realize you all were capable of assessing IQ scores by reading a
few posts. FYI I have two graduate degrees, which may not make me have a
high IQ, but it has to demonstrate some level of intelligence about
something. I certainly do not know everything, and I sure would appreciate
some helpful advice about my motorcycle here. I have a technical, business,
and hands-on engineering background, and I am a good reader. I have above
average income and have been working at least one job without one day of
being unemployed since March 15, 1977.
As for my worth, I'm not sure what you mean here, but I can only guess that
I am worthless to you. That may be very well the case, but I don't know
what I can do for you or how I can be of value. If you give me some more
explanation, I am happy to try to help you with anything if I can.
As for my moniker, I am happy to change it if you find it offensive. Got
any suggestions?

One serious question. Is your name really Mike Hunt?
Even if it is your real name, it's a favorite "nym" used by numerous adolescent
types who think it is a funny play on words, and for that reason you might want
to change it to Michael Hunt so you're not confused with those idiots.
If Mike Hunt is not your real name, it's not a very funny or original choice and
thus you deserve all the shit you're getting as a result, even if your question
was legitimate and on-topic.
Gaidheal

Where did you ever get the idea that this is a *motorcycle* forum?
It's actually a cyberspace gay bar, and some of the cruisers don't
even ride motorcycles...
BrianNZ
Never reply to a newsgroup when your'e angry. Never let anything on a
newsgroup make you angry. If people don't like 'Mike Hunt' you could try
'Far Cue'? :)
As for Shinko tyres, I will never know.....I use Metzlers. M1's for

And Krusty Kritter here is the token white supremecist racist

another male motorcyclist, that proves that they are both gay.
If you stick around long enough, you'll learn to recognize Krusty's
numerous nyms that he uses to unsuccessfully attempt to run away from
his own racist legacy here.

You do now. Glad to be of assistance in your education.

Well, "Mike," a post under the heading "Shinko Tires any good" with
the single line "Well????" was rude.

The responses perfectly fit the tenor, tone, and content of the
"request."

I realize that, given your posting history of responses such as (in
other threads, in other groups) "Don't talk with that dick in your
mouth. Focus on the job you are giving before asking for another one
to suck on."

Given your inability to recognize the intrinsic rudeness of the way
you started this thread, all I can say is that perhaps your opinion of
your own IQ is a trifle inflated.
> As for my worth, I'm not sure what you mean here, but I can only guess that

Your previous "contribution" to this group came in a thread that you
originated on December 21 titled "What the hell is wrong with you jerk-
offs?" wherein you inquired "I thought this was a biker forum. What
the fuck is up with all the pansy posts here?"
Yeah, "Mike," shit like (and this thread) that makes you worthless to
me and to everyone else in here. (Except perhaps as grist for Krusty's
racist mill.)
So you are a juvenile asswipe, looking for an argument. Why don't you
just fuck off? You obviously aren't man enough to own a motorcycle,
let alone actually ride or work on one.
> As for my moniker, I am happy to change it if you find it offensive. Got

Yeah. Fuckface Asswipe would be appropriate.

SORRY GUYS. I'LL TRY TO DO BETTER FROM NOW ON.
High Plains Thumper
> http://www.shinkotireusa.com/
Link comes up as bad, could be a momentary DNS problem.
I looked at the Shinko tires at http://www.tiresunlimited.com.
Prices are quite low compared with other tire brands.
I have no experience with Shinko, but had experience with Kenda
Challenger on my Savage. Low priced, very good mileage tire but
scary when wet. Those tires had very little grip on wet
pavement. It was most likely due to the cheaper harder rubber used.
So, I imagine you get what you pay for. Suggest checking with
other forums with a large moderated posting community, like in
Yahoo Groups for your particular motorcycle. There should be
someone with experience there.
If you are a dirt poor college student eaking out a living, or
between jobs, economy is of essence, it is better to have decent
tread and pass inspection. By all means, get them.
OTOH, if you can afford it, by the best motorcycle tire you can
afford.
I settled with Pirelli Route 66 on my bike. They are not the
cheapest, but neither the most expensive. I felt this a good
compromise between safety and cost.
Above all, don't ride as though your life depended on your tires.
The potential for serious injury is just not worth it.
Anyway, my 2 cents.

I agree. Mike was just getting some (well-deserved IMO) blow-back
from his previous postings. Maybe he'll learn that it's a good idea
to not start off by insulting a forum and then come back later, asking
for a favour.

You should probably let Mike Hunt (aka Suka Midak) know that. It's
clear that he's sincere in his desire to become an educated and

No surprise that your philosophy has you at the center of the

Well put. With Krusty, I get the impression of a man who knows his
time is swiftly running out, the joy of life is ebbing and, looking
back on his life, doesn't have much to feel good about. So, instead
of just admitting he's basically screwed the pooch and passing on
(what should be) a useful life lesson to the next generation, his
extreme vanity drive him to do things like researching his ancestors
and looking for excuses to cast the blame for his lot on others. His
life has probably been wasted by his self-centeredness and it's a
shame that, so near the end now, he still hasn't learned from the
ultimate failure of that approach.
