Yes, you gotta love the Porno titles that parody real titles.... I like ..... "Shaving Ryan's Privates".... my personal favorite title.

Hoffy have you been raiding my Photobucket?

Where did you get that pic?

I gotta admit that pic looks like I and crapping myself, I was experiencing "Edge Grip" and hoping for the stains to come out of the undies!

I have to have a real clean up of the old girl, I rode home from Bendigo tonight in the rain.. I hate that!

Then I will be putting a few new pix together for Introduction time.

Cheers guys for the positive feedback.

Tex

Hoffy, you old naked bike riding bastage.... I have a great video clip that I shot at PI with a camera mounted on my oggyknob .... I was chasing a Suz hayabusa through the twisties in the back section and he was leaving a monster blackie coming out of Siberia... I can only imagine that it looks SO dark because of the camera angle and later we were discussing it and he wasn't spinning up the rear wheel..... so I can only imagine that blackies or darkies are left as a result of wear and traction.... and bloody hot tyres.

I have had riders also comment that I am laying darkies on the exit of corners but haven't experienced it spinning up and MotoGP'ing out of corners....

The Ducati of Capirossi was a magnificent case in point last MotoGP... getting the rear about 8 - 10 inches stepped out at the rear and just driving that bad boy out of corners like it was a rocket sled on rails.

or mccoy, from yesteryear

guys I got some interesting info from http://www.zrxoc.com ,

They recommended tyre pressure of 42psi rear and 36psi front for the BT020's. I thought they were nuts as I follow the kwaka book and run 36psi front and rear. I did try this last weekend and did a few hundred K's at the 42psi rear pressure, and I have to say the rear end felt alot better.
Apparently bridgestone recommend 42psi rear for the 20's, id be interested to check other brands also, I think we are all running too low pressures in the rear IMO.

Give it a go.
