Tire Discount / Group Buy

[Moody]

hey guys / gals,
With track days and racing next year I will probably be going through tires a little quicker then usual. So lets get this together and get some tires on cheap. :icon_thumright:

[Patrick]

Jason,
If you put together a list of what you want to do a group buy on I can put it together for you.
BTW, I'm leaving for Hallett tomorrow morning for the CMRA races and won't be able to put it together till I get back on Tuesday next week.

Thanks Patrick, I need to get with you when you get back anyways. I am ready to get my race plastics and need to find out what you would charge for prepping the bike for CMRA. Safety wiring and that sort of stuff. :icon_thumright:

[arturo3rd]

if they are the good ones yes. the AGV i had last track day got eaten up after a session. guys were razzing on me in the pit :eh:

Really? You are possibly trying to drag your knee to much but, the ones I have liked so far are the ones I got from Patrick. Main reason I liked them is because I could keep flipping them around until they where completely gone. Instead of loosing just one edge and then being useless.

...If you put together a list of what you want to do a group buy on I can put it together for you...

Yes! Knee Pucks and how about Race Tires!

Patrick- I know Brad mentioned something to you at Cresson a couple of weeks ago about tires...

How many do you need to represent a "Group Buy?"

they lasted the whole day and thats what i did (flip them around). i didnt grind right through them, thats not what i meant. i just thought they would last a few track days. im a noob so i didnt know thats how they are* :dontknow:

[CarbonJames]

my MOTRAX sliders were put thru hell at TMGP and there is plenty of life left in them, got them from cycle gear, thick as hell...

[j14]

sorry boss,no knee pucks for me...I don't even drag knee yet. I'd be interested in bike stand group buy or maybe tires (at good price of course)

[Capafool]

I just ordered some pucks actually... My pucks last me. I used the same pair all year. So i'm not really in dire need of pucks..


I'd be down for the tire idea though! come race time I will be needing some new ones and gettin them at a good price couldn't hurt :icon_thumright:

[Moody]

BT002?

[dhdrider]

BT so im thinking theay are bridegstones? are these a top of the line model? what is usually the asking price for these?

[Patrick]

Atruro,
Read the latest RRW test on them they pretty much ruled, also good enough for Ronnie to be 1st and 2nd in the points in 3 series on his 636!

Gonna be at Hallett and offline for the next few days after this post, if you guys get at least 6 sets put together I'll get you hooked up,.
Get back to you all next week. Might be able to do something really well for Ohlins and Yosh also if you all are interested, probably other stuff as well, typically going toneed 6-10 orders to be able to get an awesome price break!
Thanks,

Patrick

im not saying anything until i see a price for them and for mounting. im sure they will be reasonable and fair :icon_thumright:

[FireMalt]

If Moody or an mod would change the title of this thread, ya'll may get a few more people interested.

As far as pucks go... buy the hardest material possible. They will last longer, and slide across the pavement with less drag. FYI... If you plan on racing in the CMRA, don't buy pucks with metal(the type of pucks that spark), they are not allowed.

Yes I think changing the title would be a great idea :icon_thumright: ....

I'm poor, soo I was gonna use a few scrap pieces of particle board for pucks ... bad idea?*

[OutlawDCustoMs]

shouldn't this go into the buy/sell or whatever

[Patrick]

O.K., BT002 set, 120 front T3, 180 rear T2, $250.00 OTD and I'll mount them free if you bring the wheels.
As this is my first group buy does someone have some input as to how it works?
Thanks,

Patrick

It looks like we need to arrange for people to stop by the shop at this point and drop off the money for the purchase if nescessary. This would secure the group buy I would imagine.

[Patrick]

Alright, lets say everyone needs to be paid out by Saturday then? Who all is in?

Thanks again.

U got a paypal account? I could send u the money through there asap. If not I may be able to swing by on Saturday or Friday and come get them... :icon_thumright:

[dhdrider]

Patrick-

Forgive my ignorance (you gotta speak in my language) the T3 and the T2 are what, soft and medium?

[Patrick]

Gianni,
I'll have the tires Thursday so come by when you get time.
Scorpio,
That's fine.
Jason,
T3 is a "medium", T2 is a "hard". We use these compounds any time the track temp is near or over 122*, which here in Texas is anytime after March. Anything softer will destroy itself after a few sessions.

Guys trust patrick on the compounds.... I used that setup when I had my CMRA sprint races and those damn things gripped gooood! Not only that but the tires will hold up better in this heat. During practice I ran with soft front medium rear and it was so hot I was sliding a little comin gout of some turns. Not that this is a bad thing but it may minimize the # of highsides we have in this heat. :icon_thumright:

[ufo34]

Patrick, check your PM box :icon_thumright:

[OutlawDCustoMs]

+1 i got 2 sets of tires though, or i'd be in :icon_thumright:

[dhdrider]

Guys trust patrick on the compounds...

I do.* I actually wanted "hard" rear and "Medium" fornt.* So, sign me up.* Also, BubbaRray wants 2 sets, I believe.

Current List:

Bridgestone BT-002 Tires:
Moody
dhdrider
petetlr
BubbaRRay (2 sets)
ufo34
Capafool

[BubbaRRay]

I have no idea what Jason is talking about, I'm pretty sure he is trying to get me to pay for his tires. Or maybe, you can put me down for 2 sets.

[Patrick]

O.K. Guys, I'll have the tires here tomorrow, you can pick them up.
Scorpio,
I've got the rear wheel off for you.

Patrick

[Patrick]

O.K.
Scorpio and BubbaRRay came in yesterday. Who's next?

Patrick

[Scorpio]

yeah, don't be flakin' out now guys...
thanks again Patrick!
