| Its not an affordability issue Dom. We would have been jumping about if it was - I even asked Andy if he wanted to bother in taking the bike out for the 2nd race, as he has strong 'safety issues' about tyres etc. Only once did the rear let go with him - and he said that could have easily happened in the dry on the bend, and the way he was riding Snotty at the time. Been having an interesting chat with Mark (Hill, one of the 'Axe' murderes in the Supersport 600's at Bemsee) tonight about these tyres. His initial thoughts back at the beginning of the season was 'you lot are loopy to consider road tyres'. Having then later used the bike with these Diablo tyres - he was very impressed. As I said before - Andy (who has also raced a bit before) also was very impressed with them on Sat too. Skids has also got 'previous' - and he likes them. That only leaves Ian (the Old Man), Geoff, Clint & Glynn as 'previous form racers' to make their statements about these tyres - apart from yourself Dom, I think?  Having seen a few slicks in SOT taking their riders round - 2 finishing in the final 6 - its not soley down to the tyres - but also rider confidence & ability. Overall, the tyres have been successsful so far - in our 2 mates who have ridden our bike opinions that is. edited to say: this is a rare post by Alan   [Edited on 15-8-2005 by CK and AK]  |
