Ecster, Matty and Hambo, What group you in? I'm booked in the Medium. My poor little 750cc bike gets intimidated by those big noisy bikes  :-[.

Medium for me.
Now I'm searching for a slightly 2nd hand rear tyre to use instead of running my Pilot Pure's which aren't on yet.

Why? The pilot Pures are a great tyre, my mate uses them on his CBR and has done 3 track days, still in very good nick.
I would put the best tyres I can on for the track  ???

I've had another look at them (Pilot Pure's) and I think I'll give them a go.
I was only a little worried cause I have run Powers at E.C. before and they tend to heat up and feather somewhat.
They can also suffer from cold tears which Big T  (:'( missed) did a good job of on his last set of new Pilot Powers.

Hey Matty I think you need to run lower tyre pressures when on the track.

mattyvas

yeah maybe so.
I was always at 28 cold.
I might need to start at 26 cold this time. Especially on new rubber.
