First Trackday of the year, Yeeharr!
Just done my first trackday of this year, PB90s track evening on the 13th. Was trying out some dunlop sportmax gps which made the bike feel totally different, and unlike the pirellis they have worn right to the edge of the tyre. No chicken strips!! Think i prefere the grip and feel of the pirellis.
Had a moment where i exited Cadwells coppice straight on to the grass at about 100mph, and i can tell you its not as smooth as it looks. Luckily kept it shiney side up, but you can guarrantee someone had there camera out! I will be looking out for embarrassing photos in pb!

Nice one - I think I've got a new Dunlop 207 RR (?) in the garage, maybe I'll try it soon

Blimey Boris, the 207RR is getting on a bit now
I have to admit that i was a big fan of them, good in all conditions. The later 208RR wasn't as good but i'm using the latest Qualifier RR's on my Tuono and they rock!

Not had the best of times with Pirelli, no real reasons, just never had as much confidence in them as Dunlops.fzrtim wrote:Im using the pirelli diablo corsa 3s on my aprilia, great grip and still plenty of life left in them 1500 miles in!nick wrote:Blimey Boris, the 207RR is getting on a bit now![]()
