Phil.

a shrewd choice.......i hope! ;)

time will tell if not i guess i buy another set ....:ninja:

"I could not find the Pro listed on bridgestone website"

I did a search earlier on the Bridgestone website earlier, the product is the there - but in French !!

The gist seems to be they are produced for the super moto brigade, but some of the sizes will suit us.

Diablo's came fitted to my Monster, mmm....

First time out, new tyres, rear slid out on a roundabout at sensible speeds.

Second time out, ditto.

Neither were dangerous and it felt "controlled"

Now I know they were new, I know I wasn't putting lots of heat into them and I know it was cold, but I was surprised.

I may be wrong but I think Diablo's take a while to warm up/scrub in and if they do then surely thats not what we need, even if they are great once warmed up?

I've only ridden my monster a few times now and they have pretty new Diablo's on. They felt a little slippy but I don't think they have a chance to warm up.

Might speak to Mark Wright about them, get more of an idea about them.

Great thats instilled alot of confidence for me this sat....:(

Fantastic, we're gonna be backing it in and powersliding out of corners whether we like it or not!!!

Phil,

I wasn't pushing it, acc or braking, you may well find that under those conditions they do warm up pretty well.

I know that if they were a new set I was testing I would be cleaning off the release agent before running them and probably giving them a good old scuff up aswell.

Would be nice to hear of your experiences after practicing in the right environment this weekend.

On the other hand. I've used them since May last year and not had a problem.
Ok so not on the track - well actually yes on the track - they were fine no problem at all.
As for race conditions, if they are picked we'll all be in the same boat and finding out just how quickly they will warm up i guess.

maybe we should of all bought Multistrada's and approached it as a super moto event

:eureka::eureka:
