Don't feel bad Chuck and no need to confess. I've got a set of race take
offs on my go-potty even as we speak and I don't think it's a bad thing. The
207's I have still have plenty of meat and grip left on them for my street
riding purposes. They aren't as absolutely sticky as possible (talking about
lateral adhesion) but I don't care. There's no way in hell I need 100% of
the grip that a brandy spanking new D207rr can offer on a street bike. Even
in an emergency situation it would be pointless because the bike's chassis
is not set up to handle it. The way I figure it is I have a cheap source of
tires that are sticky enough for my street riding chores. They're cheap
enough that when they get too greasy for my street riding I'll toss them and
not feel bad at all.
