Hello Everybody,

I've ordered two sets via the Swiss distributor - one for the 750 Paso and the other for the DB1SR. They should arrive at the beginning of next month - CHF190.- each for the front and CHF210.- each for the rear if I have understood things correctly.

On a related note this whole process is probably comparable to watching a kettle boil... There is also the German saying which reads:

"Gut Ding will Weile haben" or "a good thing needs time"... :lol:

Hope the tyres turn out to be a success in the handling department...

Keep smiling in the meantime!

Cheers,

Mark

"I think the best news of the last years for the Paso world."

It's like a dream come true. I have to pinch myself to make sure I am awake...

However, I am insane with envy over the fact that some folks have them already and they still aren't available in the U.S.

Delayed gratification is good exercise for the mind. Probably not as good for it as riding on two wheels on a crisp sunny day, though.

Hi, I'm a new member from Australia, I just got delivery of my new boots. I have not had time to get them put on yet.
Has anyone tried them out yet?
