300 mile update on Michelin power 2ct roads

Based on observations during a brief experience in having the OP elect to unexpectedly mix into a group ride on the backroads down from Alices, it likely wouldn't be a good idea to have your 65 year old GS riders come out to mix it up. Just an FYI, FWIW.

Very ambiguous Gary, I like that This could either be a knock on the OP, or props on his amazing street skillz...guess we'll never know

They're not my crew, I just happened to run into them and go for a little ride down backside 9 with them. My observations were that they were very well seasoned riders, very much in control of the situation and yet very (deceptively) fast. Would definitely ride with them again

Peter is down for a 1:57 at Buttonwillow, not FP winning time but certainly quick.

I was thinking the same thing. That sure was an interesting ride, wasn't it?

1.56's dog. read all the results don't just cherry pick it. Read the open super bike results. That was on on stock gsxr 1000 with 3 months of riding experiance. And what are your times at button willow?

About that tire,

if it's a defect can't you take it back to the place you bought it for a replacement?

 

[gsxrpeter]

when I was racing before I got cancer at ever track the track record lap times were up to 4 seconds slower than they are today. Button Willow in 04 the track record was a 1.4999. just bellow a 1.50. My race times are much slower at race time than my track day times since 04. If you want to know what kinda rider I am ask Jeff Tigert.

ON my way tomorrow

Here are the results from my first ever race in 04. I had only been riding for 3months and I was on a totally stock bike. These are just the results from open superbike

Dude. I give you credit for turning some fast laps at Bwizzle. You want a blow job too?

 

[Enchanter]

Look...it seems like you've resurfaced recently with an aggressive offensive of showing all BARFers of just how freakin' rad you are. Unfortunately, we're not impressed and your lack of basic etiquette only makes us harder to please. Your response to that is to call everyone a douchebag and continue posting random crap like this here thread and every reply that you posted in it.

Dude. Re-evaluate your whole approach to this forum. No one's going to stroke your ego here and no one cares that back in '04 you raced at Bumpywillow and made the FP cutoff. That's great, but that's about it. You rail twisties at a high rate of speed now. I know 65 year old doctors on GS Adventures that do that too. Trust me, they'll at the very least keep up with you, not even have to hang off, trail brake like they invented the damn technique...all while not spilling their coffee mugs. They do this weekly, so I can arrange a meeting at Four Corners

Very well said.

gsxrpeter,

The panties. Un-bunch them.

Nope, just know your roll.

 

[gsxrpeter]

Wow, how did this FAILboat go by so quickly?
I almost missed this!

Peter...I don't know what to say. Besides your horrendous grammar and callous nature, nothing you say ads up. I call BS.

First off, that front tire you showed us (I know it's not yours, but you said it's similar, so bear with me for a second) looks completely normal. Nothing on it indicates any issues with tire wear, suspension or even fast riding. If you pushed a front hard or had suspension issues, or just ran a really fast pace, it would look a bit more like a slick fresh off the track.

Second, if you ran nitrogen, you'd know that the whole reason people run it is because it stays the same psi all the time. Set pressures to your desired hot pressures and you're done. You wouldn't be able to bleed some off and add some to play with pressures like you said, because I'm pretty sure you don't have your own mobile tire nitrogen supply.

Third, tires don't change during the first 300 miles. Sure you have to wear the sheen off (street tires that is) by gradually leaning them more and more and pushing them harder and harder, but after the sheen's gone, the tire is what it is. Sure I've sometimes had to tinker with suspension settings for a few hundred miles (every time I'd stop during a ride) due to the fact that I was chasing the perfect setup (like going from a softer carcass B'stone with a flatter profile, to a harder carcass Dunlop with a steeper profile...that took some front and rear adjustments in pretty much every category). However, this was not due to the fact that my tire's properties were changing on me as they were "breaking in".

Quit haten. IN 2011 we will see who gets left behind. And you can take all that you have just said and flush it cause I could give a left nut to what you think. If you read the whole thread then you might actually know this was about tires and it turned into a pissing contest so

Don't forget to swallow

 

[Vanilla_Gorilla]

Seems like the REAL guy all this shit talking should be aimed at is that Keith Puckett fella...I was running faster laps than that before I even started riding!

 

[Vanilla_Gorilla]

Nope, just know your roll.

In this situation, the proper word is: role. As in role model.

An alternative to this catchy phrase could be: "Slow your roll," in which your initial word usage would have been correct.

Aaaaaand I'm out. arty

[ThumperX]

Little birds in their nests always agree.
Unicorns and rainbows, unicorns and rainbows,

I would have liked to have seen the tire pics but sounds like tires are going back so....

 

[Blankpage]

The way it affects tire is very different. The thing is air is really dirty and it can melt the inside of a tire very easy. Plus the temps between the two are very different. The Nitogen stays a lot colder and doesn't heat up like the regular gas station air. Just this difference makes a tire life last longer

Ok why is milli allowed to have a dup account
