Re: Tyre profiles ?? Title change for Supermaxx tyre help
Haven't booked anything yet but need to get something done soon ! Tell me when your doing your next one and I will get on it. As long as it's not Cadwell because it should be illegal to drive that far for a few hours on track !

Re: Tyre profiles ??
Lets start with the rear. A 180 probably wont fit anyway and i wouldnt do it. Although it will give you a bigger contact patch it will slow the way the bike drops into a turn. Different tyre manufacturers use very different profiles pirelli and metzler use the same carcass and make a very stable tyr...

Re: CBR 929 or 600RR recommendations/opinions.
I have had 3 929 blades that have all been track / race bikes. Certainly on the track it's nothing compared to a gixer 1000 K2 that I now use.

Re: donington 15th april
Right you gaylords made me register ! My day was partially ruined by cheap forkseals provided by CMS. When I saw the comparison between them and the genuine ones I could see why I should have waited to get genuine. Was a bit dissapointed with your video only having shots of me in the distance gettin...
