What you have on your bike at the moment is very much like a slick.. but it has grooves.

Yes they are. My tyres have diffrent operating temps, my tyres are made to warm up and cool down where as after about 10 cycles clicks are normally fucked. My tyres heat up a lot quicker too.

True I though it was the other way around. I stand corected/

Well you and tex both thrashed the feild and me and neil were the two fastest 150s.

So whats you judgement on the 250's now?

My judgement is that me and Tex are legends. Haha. Yeah I'm pretty sure the 250 fours are better bikes in many ways. But 7 seconds a lap is a long way.

**Racey Rider** · 12th August 2006, 14:39

Are you racing that RG? Don't go smashing it. It'll probably cost as much as a CBR to get it looking pretty again.

**Sketchy_Racer** · 13th August 2006, 13:50

It's already smashed.... well kinda.

Ive got the fairings from my crash on it which are ziptied together.

I'll try get some photos up of what it looks like at the moment....
