Mate you did quite well

I enjoyed watching you get around that track.

It was a shame that your attitude towards your own safety (rear tyre) and people that you rode with was so immature

Hello T passing on the inside is fine if you are racing

Track days you pass on the outside

It wasn't the tread that was the issue it was the fact that you could see the cords of the tyre. I won't comment anymore on the tyre issue but mamma mia

I know you had a good day, I really hope that you have learn't a bit from it.

italian lesson over, as you were.

"tyre...cords...trackday" are 3 words i wouldn't have necessarily associated with each other...

ggezzzz... Tom, If were in a position of power (ie a marshall) I would have black flagged ya.
Nah not really, glad you had a blast... sort that tyre out and you should listen to the riders brief

For your insubordinance (sp?) you must wear a pink ribbon around your waist at the next track day... its tradition dont ya know and you'll have to get a "I'm with Jacob" sticker for your bike (I'll make that for ya at no charge!)

hehe
