thanks Ron 

Check out those chicken strips

I am obviously not one to talk but it was funny in my head

I'll be at  the same place shortly.
The Supercorsa's are getting pretty thin now.

Both Monsterdorf and Matty got nails in their tyres whilst riding with me when I was on my little trip.

went for a first ride today. city via p.i.t.s via warriors to the scenic route up to the sound-off (done that part 3x return up and down  )
the tyres felt beyond my wildest..
v quick to turn in, felt like glued to the road. with every turn i felt that i could go faster and lean deeper but common sense luckily prevailed

my question: apparently they need to have slightly higher pressure due to their unique construction/shape ....... or is it a croc of shit? anyone can confirm or deny?
read on a jap bike forum post by a moderator that for a bike 170-180kg the correct pressure is to be:

Road
F ... 2.5 bar (36 psi)
R ... 2.9 bar (42 psi)

Track
F ... 2.3 bar (33 psi)
R ... 2.1 bar (30 psi)

any comments?

If anything, turn-in seemed a little slower to me (than the - admittedly shagged out) Bridgestone Battlax 16s I had on originally.   

Don't know about 42 for the rear but I run 36/36 in my Supercorsa's right now.
I'll try that in the Pure's when they go on shortly.

On another note, didn't you want some company heading up there. Would have been happy to head out with you today.

It could be that they were distracted.  Are you distracting?

visited a trusted suspension guy the other day and usual track pressures are 30/30 but they have tried the PURES and not a track tyre as such but
still good none the less, but were using higher near street pressures with good results 34/36 as are a different rubber compound

well, that's a different info from the one i found ..... any one else can shed some more light?

I'm running 34psi front/36psi rear for no especially good reason......   seems to ride... handle... stop... and keep the rims off the bitumen well enough so far (nails notwithstanding).

I heard that on I4 bikes the pressures are way higher than on our bikes. Don't know if it's true but those numbers coming from a Jap bike forum seem to corroborate that.
