Agreed 100%! And everytime he giggled (or whatever that high-pitch trill was...), I thought for sure that he had passed the phone to the nearest stripper.

Good times, good times. Thank you, Miles, for making an evening of grading papers more fun than I could possibly have expected.

I just did two days on the BT003RS. I like them so far. They provided good grip. I only had one mishap, but it was my fault. I was trying to pass a guy one the inside after the apex, gave it too much throttle while still deep in the lean and the backend stepped out. However, I was pleased with how the slide felt. It felt predictable(if that is possible) and didn't scare the crap out of me. I ended up running 27lbs in the rear. Here is a pic of the wear I was getting. I had 28lbs in it when it slid out.

I think it's about 4 years old now. I just put it into the ground last summer. It had been in a pot.

How bad were the rotors in terms of price?

Not bad, but those are just OEM rotors for a spare set of wheels. I think I paid around $100 for all of them. Aftermarket rotors would have been much, much worse.
