Standard On Your Next Set Of Tires: Judgment

I understand the little leaning motorcycle, but what the hell is going on with that elephant?

The guys over at Asphalt & Rubber have made note of the latest development in motorcycle tires. Now will you not only have shameful chicken strips on the sides of your tires to indicate how much of a badass you are (or are not, in my case), if you bought a set of Metzler Sportec M5's, they'll include some awesome pictograms to help your buddies rank your skills as a rider.

Meanwhile, keep trying to convince your friends that you're not a wimp, you're just riding fresh rubber. It might work.
