    That was on the bucket at Levels, ask Spudracer about it, and then ask Spudracer what happened to him leading me and DP at B track in the rain

    The LC will be on slicks as soon as I can do it

    I reckon you'll need wets for it- much more power and weight than a bucket.

    I've been wondering- is there really any point in using slicks? Slicks need to be warm/ hot to really work. Our races are only 6 laps long- do the slicks even get to their ideal operating temp by the end of the race?

    The Ching Chin is a better tyre in the wet, its the rider thats the limiting factor. I didn't want to show you and DP up in my first season of racing, binning it seemed the right thing to do. A slick is OK untill you have standing water ,snow or black ice. In damp conditions a bucket on slicks will beat a muppet on road tyes any day.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    We're likely to get all three at Teretonga

    even cold slicks are way better than cold road tires and by the second lap they are as warm as they need to be. Part of the reason the top blokes use tire warmers is so they can get the best out of there slicks right off the start of the race.
    Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
    Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.

DP is an over serious poofta, a real man would run road tyres on a classic bike, not 2006 tyre technology on a old shitter that carn't even keep up with a early 80's piece of shit RD350 with a gobby wanker rider. You all wait till Dangerous turns up the wick on the Kat, which by now will have its bright pink paint job, he will give us all "the learn".

    I thought he was taking the Kat?
    Oh well- I guess we could paint the Guzzi pink instead. It'd go well with those rocker covers.

    The only gobby wanker out there is some cock on a CB250RS at the back of the field although according to the points he's beating me in SI cup Pre82, fuck he must be fast cause I didn't see him pass me

    Maybe they gave me extra points for the power to weight disadvantage?
