I have noticed his absence. Any clue?


Last known to be testing undersize bald treaded motorbike tyres.
Perhaps he went to see Jobst.


No hydroplaning at 150 kph in the rain:https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...0806_246360012...


It's cornering grip that matters.


Better cornering grip than most exotic cars, but thanks for asking.

Did break the rear wheel [1] loose under throttle, but here is the
reason for that:http://image.sportrider.com/f/905395..._03_z+real_wor...


Is that front tyre meant to be on the wrong way around?


Correct according to the sidewall arrows. �Works well enough to do
stoppies in the dry.


That'll be why it's that way around, not to improve wet cornering grip
but to hold together when the nutter thinks he's a circus act.

You do know you have to get your chin on the tank to outbrake regular
saloon cars? With sports cars, you're history, Don't get so close,
it takes you longer to slow for them bends.

Uh Trevor, the CBR600F4i is *not* some rattly Trumpet or Beezer with a
front drum brake that you rode during your misspent youth. Stopping
distances are shorter on a modern sport-bike than any cars that do not
produce significant aerodynamic down-force.
