rider feedback from months of work :)

Hi Dave,

What is strange about the NTEC is they started doing the same as the pirellis at my second track day on them, I check the pressure and was up to 26-27 (even thought I had put them at 20 cold)...and also found the rear was hard on bumps compared to the Pirellis. so I came off the track and ajusted my pressure to 24 after a couple of hot laps. The tearing disapeared immediatly.

On another note, I was leaned so much with them at Calaboogie that I scrapped my fairing on turn 6 several sessions, even thought I was fully 'out' and low beside the bike...a friend of mine following told me there were but inches between my elbow and the ground... Franckly I never thought I could go so low...I'm glad I was able to do it...I remember feeling like a little 'Rossi' for those few session being about 5-6 second off the Pro pace wich is a little over 2 minutes on that track... Fond memories for a long time with that trackday.

I'm getting a Penske this winter (a 24 clicker without the hi speed compression adjustment) and my front fork will be rebuilt...can't wait to see what that will do to my times.... My friends tease me that I should turn Pro...but at 43 I think it's a bit too late for that :-) Anyway I'm having a blast at trackdays...never thought I would be this fast.thanks again for all your help and comments.
