Not an exhaustive answer though I hasten to add!

Well...it was the day after the WSB boys had been there all weekend...on the same circuit...so there certainly was plenty of rubber on the track. But again...I can't remember seeing it on any other bikes I looked at and I wasn't going particularly slow on the in lap any way apart from the last couple of corners before the pits?

As for rider weight Kev...are you suggesting I could do with putting some on? How kind
