Tire Question for SD

[Sunny]

I was talking about people other than yourself working on your bike............  Anyway, that was the impression I had (may be a result of talking to you about bikes before).  Well, I am sorry that I am wrong.............   ;)

If you already had Keith worked on it before, I would just talk to him about how the bike is behaving/doing while you ride on whatever track/corner.  He'll probably fix it within a tries.  He should be available at most if not all the STT trackdays you've planned for this year.

I would be glad to help you out.  But you are right about us living so far away from each other.  I wouldn't mind driving over when it's a little warmer if you like as a "thank you" for the Gingerman hook-up last year!   ;)

Really, an F2 can go almost as fast as a current 600.  Vintage 500 single cylinder race bikes from the early 60's can do 32's at Grattan.

H...are you beginning to recognize that, yeah, a lot of this is mental, but a  lot goes into the chassis to make it work for you.

You can't drive the bike.  You're gonna ride it.  Forcing it to do something won't work.  Yeah, you could go faster, but the bike is telling you otherwise.  It can be better.  It doesn't have to feel like everything is going so fast and so quick and that you're walking on egg shells.  Feel is important.

Hmmm... interesting revelation you make about yourself there partner.  You gained an impression about someone from 30 minutes of chat and that leads you to make statements like "I know".  Oh well.

I knew what you meant earlier.  You were quite clear.  I was just being self-effacing.  The fact that I work on my own bike indicates that I'm certainly not that picky about who else works on it.  Well, I do have to know and trust the person.

Yeah, Keith's at all the STT events that I've been.  Based on the reports of others, he's good.  But I don't think I'll be using his services.  It serves no purpose to go into "why" here.

Catch ya at the track or maybe in Royal Oak Sunny.

E-mail headed your way Super D.

H, I'll be attending STT Grattan event during 5/7-5/8 to run it backward since I have only done that for no more than 10 laps in the past.  This is to prepare myself for the WERA Grattan round a week later that will be running backward (counter clockwise).  Maybe I'll see you there if you also plan on attending.  If not, lets just hook up sometime when it's warmer but before your first trackday!   ;)

S, if you're interested in more prep time check out http://trackoholics.com/Trackoholics_Trackdays.html.  They've got the Thursday and Friday right before the August WERA races at Grattan.

I'm planning on doing the WERA races in AUgust at Nelson & Grattan.  I'll be racing in V7MW and maybe Senior SBK.

I'll be at Grattan on May 7th & 8th.  See ya then.

Cool, I'll check it out.  See you on May 7th/8th (hopefully Bonnie and Monte had worked out a plan to let us run at least one day counterclockwise)!

[H-man]

I thought Monte answered you on the WERA BBS ???

I think he's in favour of doing Sunday CCW.  He enjoys it that way.

[Sunny]

That's all he said and he still needs to run it by Bonnie.  Unless I missed something........  Did he ever go back and post more to that thread?
