    I would bet that there are some people like me, who simply click on the "New Posts" tab at the top, which then lists any new topics or posts in the order of the most recent responses.

    I ,for one , never knew there was a new "Forum" specifically to talk about Darkside.

    I also don't usually interject in these tired ( see what I did there?) debates over tires, oil etc...

    However when someone does inquire about people's experiences with said "car tires" , I will sometimes offer my opinion.

    I ride with quite a few "Darksiders" I currently ride Darkside on my Valkyrie. I will wear that tire out, but when it's done, not sure I'll put another Darkside on it.

    I think it's wrong to post purely for the point of being argumentative. I've seen that both ways though. No one here has a monopoly on fitting this description from my observation.

    I think we need to move this thread to "Off Topic"

    I often wear lightweight leather slippers when I ride the SERIOUS twisties so I can better feel the bike's responses.
    Of course, I have to replace them about every year or so....

    Bob,
    You see those elastomeric bands linking the two sidewalls? They provide all the support I've ever needed.
    No one's ever had an issue, so despite being contrary to MSF doctrine of "over-the-ankle" footwear, we "Light-Siders" are just trying to be ourselves and do our own thing.
    It's about freedom.
    These slippers are empirically proven to do the job, regardless of numerous claims to the contrary.
    There's so much data out there, I'm really shocked you haven't heard or seen any; the light touch and feel I get is SO superior to black leather engineer boots, black leather racing boots, black leather flip-flops, and what ever else you "Dark-Siders" are wearing that is 'authorized' and promoted by the mainstream.
    There's just no comparison!
    Using these should be legal for all riders - especially for riders who want to wear through shoes quickly!

    And I do encourage you to try them before dismissing them as a fad or other social nuance.
    The social persecution of "Light-Siders" is sickening.
    I've had to change my identity on FB, various forums and even SnapChat.
    Obama was real close to signing legislation that would have permitted me to use the same bathroom as Dark-Siders, but that got pushed aside. Some "trans-thing" got priority.

    Lastly here's this little factoid: NBC's Brian Williams even did a story about how he personally wore them at the Isle of Man competition last year and touted his outstanding finish - all on his Kawi 125 Eliminator.

    So, as I read somewhere else in these hallowed pages, "just give it a rest," okay?
    I'll be me, you be you, and I guarantee I'll wave at you next time I see you!


    ))))
