I'd love to see what she'd do on a properly prepped track that had a bit more traction than, say, a wet mossy road covered in cowshit. I suspect the front would reach for the sky real good-like in such circumstances.

Heck, I suspect everyone there today would have knocked a good second off their times if we'd just gone out and done the runs on a quarter-mile worth of highway out the front!

Brilliant, thanx mate,I shall allow 1 second for the road surface and .5 seconds for your nervousness, sticking .3 seconds on for your pipes over standard. Add a little embellishment to the mix and I shall be taking a figure of 11.1 seconds to the pub.Seems fair.

But still enjoyed the run and it made J's day too

I really would have enjoyed that, spose a vids out the question. Oh well good fun, cheers guys.

$500? If that's a 190/55 rear in that pair, I'm your bitch.

Congratulations jrandom. (respect)

Good thread.

One could feel your apprehension and anxiety, leading up to the event and the pump in your posts now that you have achieved your mission for the day.

I have enjoyed it almost as much as you have!

Cheers, John.

He tossed it so he would have a good excuse to why him in his poseur leathers lost to some other fat git on a ZX14.

I was never good at the traffic light GP.

Not talking about this ZX14?

Getting PP 2CT rears in the oddball 190/55 profile costs a leetle extra.

I'll probably stick with the 190/50s in the future anyway, so it won't be an issue.
