No news as yet Dave, we are all waiting with bikes stood on bare rims.

[brummydave]

he he that would level the playing field!!big thanks by the way ,to kev and the boys for tyre testing at donny,but if we cant reach a deal/agreement what about the use of ANY Z rated tyre therefore opening choices up but still being within the speed regs aplicable on the road (speeds we wont be reaching)whilst maintainnig the clubs duty of care with regards to the construction and use ,as far as is practicable. just my ten pennyworth and obviuosly too late !! unless it helps start a (proactive) discussion to reach a descision.

Tyres will be round and black.

I'm sure a decision is near.

[Jolley]

They are also likely to be the New (H-rated?) Dunlops... Skids is just trying to finalise the price and supplier.

[bradders]

If it falls thru, any H rated makes sense; but not Z they just don't seem to work with our little bikes

[Jolley]

It shouldn't fall through. Should be just a case of everyone agreeing the costs and arrangements.

....Followed by said supplier running out of tyres 10 minutes later after the first dozen people have bought 2 or 3 sets, just in case stocks run low......

Oh yea of such little faith!

I am sure it will all be fine!
