It's not quite the same vote though is it.

As far as I can see it was - the options were to run with "a single control tyre and no warmers" or "free tyres with warmers, etc.".

Yes it was and im happy with a controlled tyre THAT we all use......if we start opening up the rules too much i believe its going to get out of control.

The way I understand is,

all entrants have recently voted privately on the subject of single control tyre vs free.

the votes have been counted and we WILL be using a single control tyre without warmers.

All we need to do at the AGM is agree what the control tyre will be.

There are only a few suitable tyres that meet our requirements, ie cater for wet/damp conditions and are available in a range of sizes to fit all elligable bikes.

Two of these are:-

Pirelli Diablo's (not corsa)
and
Bridgestone BT090's

I guess what Monty was saying is, if you don't know what tyre to vote for, talk to Mark from Holbeach Tyres since he knows what he's talking about.

I would suggest that if concensus of opion can be brought closer together between now and the AGM on this particular point it will make for a far more productive afternoon on the 12th.

I wasn't aware that everyone had been officially told which way the voting went - I certainly haven't been informed by a member of the Desmo Due team that this was the case.

But yes, you're right - thinking about which tyre to go for now will certainly save a load of waffle next saturday!

Is dunnie getting some inside info here!!

If we're to be voting on which tyre then i reckon i'll go along with marks suggestion of the 090's cos i know sweet f.a. about what will be best!

I just need to know which ones we're having, then get some, fit 'em and race on 'em.

Lovely!!!

I know it was suggested a while back that going for a road-legal moulded tread tyre of your choice - is there any mileage in having a quick straw poll of all entrants and seeing what their choice is? It might make it easier to narrow it down to an "authorised" list or something?

If we decide to go for one make of tyre will the manufacture be offering prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd ? ie front and rear for 1st, rear for 2nd and front for 3rd . Bare in mind that they will probably sell 30 sets of tyres per meeting.
