Nats round 1

It is okay to ask.....
My guess is that most of them are pretty skint on tyres at the momnet, as the show that is the Nationals depletes a lot of the stock....
May not be totally true, as I made it up, but there are a lot of tyres stashed in Vans/ Trailers/ Mates garages etc just to support the 3 weekends down south.
Then there is the 2 rounds up here that need to be covered too....

yeah but they should still have touring/road tyres?

Triumph/MV was the only one I saw

aw don't forget Harris Pipes, bro!

Well they could....
But as a user of Touring/Road tyres myself, I would actually prefer it if the dealers only got the tyre in when I ordered it, and it was kept in a nice cool warehouse (or in the shop) out of the sun until I purchased it....

Having them sitting in a rack in the Cantabury heat to show off wouldn't really spin my wheels.....
Others might be happy to buy one, but no thanks from me...

Talking about tyres, is it okay to ask why there aren't the major tyre manufactures/ suppliers at the track? 1st Nationals I've been to In New Zealand and I was surprised to not see any there.

Simple Rob, there is no margin in the sales to support such adventures.
