Yep can but don't, nines a little heavier than a 6,plus I like to keep my record intact. ;) How many times have u been at broadford and seen first lap bang of they go,shits me off as it wastes track time and really its a track day not a race. :D

Mate, your doing it the wrong way. With warmers, if you don't have it on your knee from turn one the tyres cool off and lose grip.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

Don't worry its not as if I am just putting through it ,I just don't do it at 110% on the first corner.In fact most of the day I ride at about 80% of my capability, unless I decide to chase some one down then its about 90 %.Never at 110% as il like my body in one piece with out any additional brocken bones or bits missing. :D

Hi guys, a quick update, I put on Q3's and they are awesome, thanks for the feedback. Couldn't believe how sticky they were.
