    It's always worth going to the track

    Last weekend several of us drove 7 hours too Teretonga and raced all day in the pissing rain, I'll send you some "toughen up pills"

    Racing in rain is a fact of life--If you can master wet riding you will have an advantage over other riders.
    Now when it gets so cold ya have to use ice spikes then maybee its too cold
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Just ride slower and brake earlier and lean less until you feel confident enough to ride faster, brake later and lean more.

    Not that I'd know how to do any of the above, but I like to pretend to be intelligent by giving out advice.

    P.S: You know it's only water right??

    Should I Stay Or Should I Go?"

    Darling you gotta let me know
    Should I stay or should I go?
    If you say that you are mine
    I'll be here 'til the end of time
    So you got to let know
    Should I stay or should I go?

    Always tease tease tease
    Siempre - coqueteando y engañando
    You're happy when I'm on my knees
    Me arrodilla y estás feliz
    One day is fine, next is black
    Un día bien el otro negro
    So if you want me off your back
    Al rededar en tu espalda
    Well come on and let me know
    Me tienes que decir
    Should I Stay or should I go?
    ¿Me debo ir o quedarme?

    Should I stay or should I go now?
    Should I stay or should I go now?
    If I go there will be trouble
    An' if I stay it will be double
    So come on and let me know

    This indecision's bugging me
    La indecisión me molesta
    If you don't want me, set me free
    Si no me quieres, líbrame
    Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
    Dígame que debo ser
    Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
    ¿Sabes qué ropa me queda?
    Come on and let me know
    Me tienes que decir
    Should I cool it or should I blow?
    ¿Me debo ir o quedarme?

    Should I stay or should I go now?
    ¿Yo me frío o lo soplo?
    If I go there will be trouble
    Si me voy - va a ver peligro
    And if I stay it will be double
    Si me quedo es doble
    So you gotta let me know
    Me tienes que decir
    Should I stay or should I go?
    ¿Yo me frío o lo soplo?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Just tell him to run it at 29 to 30 PSI. If the pressure is any lower, the grooves on his GPR 70 SPs will close up when the tires fold in and water wont be able to channel through them.

    On his warm up lap, tell him to not bother with swaying from side to side in order to warm up the tires. Heaps of people do it, but it does nothing to warm up tires. It only works on 4 wheels. When the pros do it on 2 wheels, it's generally just to clean the surface of the tires from mud etc.

    SInce he has no tire warmers, best way to warm them up quickly is to accelerate hard and brake hard as many times as possible before lining up on the dummy grid. The heat generated from the middle of the tires will spread across to the sides some what.

    All the best to him.
