Ghost town??

Is it just me or is it really quiet on here tonight?

Mind you after last night we could all do with a rest.

So who's planning what for brands? I have my plan in place

On a slightly different note, I'm getting slightly concerned about the rate in which my DD bike is eating its tyres! I fitted a brand new set last friday dinner time, did the afternoon on them and qually/two races each day on them and by the last race they were slipping and sliding like i'd sprung an oil leak! Its deff not the suspension setup as it wears the tyres very smooth all over with no tearing at all.
Is it possible to buy shares in pirelli?

Matt - I think that Pembrey was a killer on tyres tbh and it was very slidy which made it feel worse!

Not got as far as a plan for Brands yet other than I am going..

I've just completed some subtle mods, not that they will give you any worries but hope it may just speed the bike up a bit. Should raise a few eyebrows too.

Matty - Pembrey is one of THE worst tracks in the country for killing tyres, nay - its MUST be the worst (can anyone say different??)
We've been using less tyres than we thought so far, but when we do the double day meeting & combined test day there in Aug, we are taking at least 3 sets per bike - as well as wets & spare wets!

Anyways - we have Snetterton next weekend (end of the month) then will be coming aloong to Brands, as dictated to by Lily - m'aam!
