QuoteI don't remember saying that tire spin was directly related to body positioning, but I'm sure something relative to that was discussed in the context of our conversation.

I'll let you know about K2K .. I know there's going to be a "Witchkraft" event there in February.

QuoteI thought that the BBS was THE place to learn about racing?????

It is isn't it?  I mean I detect a bit of sarcasim in your post :o :o :o

Isn't this the place where nearly everyone's a Jeremy Burgess, Frankie Chile or Valentino Rossi?

If not, I'm shocked!  Shocked I say.

Hey H, I am no Valentino, but I am Jackie Chan!   ::) ;D

Joke aside, hopefully I didn't express myself as "telling you what you should do".  I really just try to share what I experienced.

Cool.  Will definitely join you!  Need to buy you and your father at least a drink for all the "tool borrowing" to fix Ryan's frequently crashed R6's..........

Which martial art and what style?

I've an interest in it from a past life.  I've learned combination techniques from various styles.  All aimed at efficiency.  More the jutsu versus the jitsu (i.e., the science vs. the art).

QuoteIt's just that I find myself dazed, confused, hallucinating, questioning my own morals, wanting to run into a wall, etc. whenever you start posting.

Seriously laughed out loud when I read this earlier.  This BBS has been a nice distraction from work every now and again.

Now let's see what other devilry can be done and other cages can be shaken.

Yes.... I see H-Hopper.

When you can snatch this pebble from my hand then, and only then will you be ready for a white plate!

LOL.. I crack myself up...

Amatuer to the board/
Professional Experienced in the tire world

BT002 Moto GP inspired racing DOT, Simply put those guys are going faster than every one I know.

Fuchs Kawasaki, Camel Hondapons
and Now Ducati for 2005.

Bridgestone /Michelin has been at the top of tire manufacturing since two wheel time began

Since Bridgestone and Michelin are leading the Moto gp world my money is on the These two. also In Road racing, Motocross, and Supercross. Real Riders and Racers Tell their team this is the tire we should run because the product is the Best.

Where is Dunlop?  having to pay and free tire every factory racing team in the USA

Pirelli is focusing on a Developing tires for a series that should have been extinct. two years ago.

Now back to your Question How do the Bridgestones
Work?

The Bt001 was a good racing tire, with good initial grip, and a predictable driving slide. They did seem to spin on the third session, mostly cause i was getting used to the spin, and thus increasing  the rpm's which translated to faster mid straight speeds.

The new BT002, design incorporated MOTO GP advancements, and Formula One Technologies.
The absolute fastest types of Asphault Racing known to man.

In 2004 The Bridgestone Company came up with an all new Carcas, Belt, Tread design, and New improved Compounds. 2,3,and 4, 4 being the softest.
 
Why new more flexible Carcas, not as flemsy as the Pirelli, not as stiff as the Dunlop, thus allowing the tire to heat up faster, and more forgiving to bumps in the asphault

New Belt for lighter stronger construction,

New Tread design for more slick like action at full lean angles, and a tire that is designed to maintain grip through the tire life. Actually becoming more like a slick as it wears out." Technology from Formula one" Faster at the end of a race when your pushing the limits for wins

New Compounds offer stickier effect, and longer lasting. also benificial to giving excatly the traction needed to advance your results, Selection designed for the type of racing a person is doing. Sprint, all day racing, and Endurance Events

New Profiles for better turn in and better full lean grip,

I feel the B Brand are eclipsing the P brands, with simalarities, and attributes that top P riders have been complaining about being that P was the best Dot in Prior years.
The consistency of production, shows that manufacturing techniques are advancing just as fast as the Tire it self

Sorry for the elongated Answer, but the Question was needing some actual reasons. as to what is the BEST

Thanks for the info Eric.  It wasn't long winded either.

Say, who was that stranger?

That's no stranger.  That was .... ;)

Various different types, didn't specialize in any.  I too focus on efficiency.  While training, I like the kicking parts better though.

Good stuff Eric!  Although I think your English/typos confuses me a bit............
