Sussex Mood: 900,900,851,750,750,750, 600,600,450,350,350,250 You know, its difficult being an old git trying to make up for lost time  What I definitely *need* it lots more track time on either of the dd bikes. However, what I also *want* is something to speed up my learning curve - I find it very difficult to push when riding by myself at a trackday - or even in a race when I've passed someone but the next bloke is binocular distance away.  I got passed on the line the other week cos I just lost speed on the last lap and the bloke I passed whos best lap times were a sec slower than mine took me. I hated that. Now, I've (tried to) followed some of you young whippersnappers a bit now, so I know I should know that the diablos are mega tyres, but but but ... So the theory is - use some tyres that I *know* are much stickier than I need so I can relax more and spend my $10 on braking less and later, not on thinking about what the tyres will feel like when they start to slide  Does that make sense ? | |
