I hope it's a lot more than 30+ Ron. I want two sets and with 37 starters on the Brands grid last year I think demand will possibly outstrip supply very quickly.
As regards The 20th Feb test day. Well not all of us can make that so I was sort of hoping the tyre issue would have been sorted out way before then so they could be tested out at earlier trackdays.

I belive Mark is supplying, but Kev may have a load delieverd to him fro distribution, maybe to save some initail cost to keep Marks costsdown and so ours.

I intend to issue a update tomorrow by way of email.
Its mainly announcing the tyre deal.

As there is bound to be a initial high demand for tyres, we are trying to cover the options so that 2011 DD registered riders can get hold of them.

To cope with the initial demand there will be 3 options as opposed to the normal 2.
Option 1 - Collect from Supplier
Option 2 - Have Deliverd by mail
Option 3 - Collect at the Brands Testday

More on this tomorrow in the email

Too right I am. For the cost of the 3 sets I bought last year I can have 4 this year!

Cheers again Kev for all your (and whoever else behind the scenes) hard work. We didn't just stumble on this deal, and it is for a H rated (apparently ideal for our bikes, but I doubt I'll be able to notice) Dunlop (my manufacturer of choice for my 848). A pat on the back for finding a decent tyre at the right price to keep this budget racing. It can't have been easy to wait to confirm the details with us all moaning!
