Report on how badly a K2 gixxer crashes.

[skelstar]

The real story is that Lissa was going to beat Drew. down the hill and he was in such a hurry to catch up to her that he crashed.

...oh and he sucks at playing doubles table tennis...

[Sensei]

At least it was a slow off & ya Ok apart from abit of bike scaring , some of the Pros & cons of running race tyres on the road I guess .Have used race tyres from guy here & had more than a few scary moments when cold & now we are into winter they will take even longer to warm up .

I've only ever used race tyres on the thou, road or track. I'd like to to point out, that, no, they dont warm up as quick as road tyres, but they dont actually need to get up to thier full race temp, due to the fact that they are not being pushed to race pace. It is a common misconception, that they dont work at all till they're at optimum temperature.

It's the very reason people get similar k's from a racetech, or super corser, as they do from the sport compounds. They still hang on better, but aint gettin hot enough to wear the way they would at full temp.

If you ride hard enough to use the good stuff, then dont let half educated people talk you out of it.

yeh I know the feelin

Nothing wrong with racetechs in the wet.. or supercorsa's for that matter. They don't like paint when wet though....

[JayRacer37]

So next time Jay's up there he's going to be carry one long extension cord for his tyre warmers

Nah mate, i'll just have the road compound RaceAttacks on so that I don't have to worry....

[Nasty]

Glad you are not too badly hurt Drew .. you bike looks worse off than Grubs and that looks to be a write off ($6k in parts etc) .. glad yours seems mainly surface ...
