    My Darkside car tire ride at the Dragon video link • Chris Caliente leaves ...
    This is the tire to be mounted on the front (it's advertised as a rear tire) www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/...
    Here is the tire to be put on the rear, road hazard warranty included in the price.

    Good video showing how rear tire leans & rolls well on rear. I've been riding darkside on my 02 Honda VTX 1800R for near ten years. Had no problems and great tire wear. I can corner well as stock with only limiting factor the floor boards dragging with either tire, never close to losing grip. Increased mileage wear, increased weight carrying capacity and far less expensive.

    I just wanted to thank you Chris, you are the main reason I went to the dark side, and I am very happy with my decision and your advice.

    Hi Chris. I love your videos; congratulations on 700+ videos. I wanted to give you my experience with an insurance claim on my 2008 Triump Rocket 3. I darksided for many years on that bike (245/50R16). I hit a pipe in the road, it broke a hole into my engine casing and the debris from that immediately locked up my transmission and rear tire (about a 300' skid mark was the result). I never dropped the bike but the insurance totaled my bike due to the cost to replace the engine and transmission. A 20+ year motorcycle claim adjuster from Geico had no issue at all with my car tire. He noticed everything and even gave me credit for custom pegs. They paid me in full, more than I could have got I'd I would have just sold the bike. Again, they had no issues at all with a huge car tire on the rear. Geico paid without any questions at all.

    I pull a trailer and ride two up most of the time on a 03 GL 1800. I'm tired of paying big bucks for motorcycle tires, your reviews have convinced me to give the darkside a try. Thank you for for all your excellent vlogs, reviews and instructional maintenance videos on the "Goldwing" love it!

    Been running car tires on our Harleys since the 70s. Been around a long time.

    I cannot fantom how much time and effort it took to produce 700 videos. I appreciate you man. Thank you for all your sacrifices and the sacrifices of your entire family. I'm sure it took some time away from your family to produce these videos. And the quality of your videos is high. You just didn't set the bar high, you ARE the bar! Thank you so much. RSMF.

    I recently moved up to a Goldwing and out on every ride so far I hear your voice in my head "out on the Goldwing, out on the Goldwing"... 😊

    That’s correct. Insurance companies only require a D.O.T approved tire.

    Mr. Caliente, great work on your videos. I’ve been watching for years and praises to you for sharing your experiences. I finally went DD on the ‘12 GL1800 and rode the first 275 miles today. I’m lovin’ it.

    Great job on the 700 Videos. Glad I found your channel. As much as I can't wait until winter is over, I can't believe January is almost over already. Thanks for the in depth review.

    This is very interesting! I bought a Honda Sabre new in 2002 and it came with Dunlops. They scared the hell outta me!

    Thanks Chris for all the information. I got 15,000 miles out of my E4 rear and over 24,000 on my E4 front. I replaced them as a pair. I am now double darkside with Driveguard and Battlax. I love the way they ride, feel, corner, etc. All of it. Like you "I ain't never goin back".
