Hi Guys, here are my strips. These were crumbed and baked on publics roads, a couple of rides up and down Reefton and the Black spur. I/ll post them again after a track day and see how they come up.
Sorry about the flash.

Yeh I know, The pilots that I used on the GOR are my emergancy tyres. I cant really afford to trash em quick and I get the slicks cheeeeeeap. I'm a povo student. Only really put em on when it looks like it might rain.

Hey matty
Do you have two sets of wheels?
Or do you just change tyres when necessary?

Two whole bikes actually, minus one frame.
The other is for spares. Got it from auctions as stolen and recovered. Once I find a cheap frame it'll be a track bike.
So yeah, two sets of most things. Only one neck though.

OK, you've seen mine before the track day.
Now here's mine at the end of the track day...
Some are a bit hard to see, but there's no strips left on the front, and a little bit left on the rear.
And here's James' at the end of the track day.....
