Can I make a suggestion here?

Anyone that wants to run different tyres to the current ones, simply has to do ONE thing:

Get a signed letter from the manufacturer stating that their tyres are suitable to use in racing, in both wet and dry weather, for the weight and power made by both classes of bikes.

Once you've got that letter, please come back and post up a copy as it will help us to decide which tyres are suitable for use and those which can be discounted. Until this happens, can I politely suggest that you all STFU about tyres? Kthxby.

Ah, the letter, that must be similar to the one the powers that be consistantly cant/wont/refuse to make available to those that ride in DD mustnt it?
Well thats not a prob, I could have that letter available to compare with the one that Pirelli sent too........But you miss the point Antonye....this is NOT about tyres alone.........or do you assume what a post says rather than actually reading it?

I've never been to Africa, but a lot of people tell me it's there and so I believe them...

So what else is it about? Please feel free to make a list of points that you would like to see addressed and I shall respond to those too, but personally I was responding to your query about the letter of conformance from Pirelli.

Rules for DD are set by those who spend THEIR time constructively organising it, not whinging.
As Mr Couchie and Mr Woods appear to say we all have 2 choices.
If the tyres chosen for the series are not to your liking I'm sure another club can accommodate you!
If you don't like Marmite don't whine about on the Marmite forum.
Tell some one who gives a flying ####. Try peanut butter.

Those in the DD paddock are having fun hence the grids in difficult times are still some of the biggest in New Era.
Why do some people seem to want to try to **** things up by posting on a forum. Forums don't have any power to do anything.

Broke my elbow and coc6 at Pembrey on Sunday, the drugs and cider have taken their toll tonight.
Wanna rip someones arms off and beat them to death with the soggy ends.!!!
So if this offends...... #### off.

I'll be back next year if you'll have me, cos its fun and, for the most part, with pretty good folk.
