I've been through 4 sets of PP 2CTs since June, thought i'd give Metzeller Racetech a go this time. They are far far softer than what I would ever need. I've only done 150miles on them and they are more than 1/2 worn Sad Back to PPs again me thinks.

M8 when i compare your lean angel at the hairpin compared to everyone else it was a matter of time before the front washed out. You get your breaks sorted yet?

Never!!! It'll go a hell of a lot further over than that. The pegs aren't even down on most of the pics. Last time I was at Knocky the pegs spent most of the day squashed against the heel plates. This time I fitted taller profile tyres and up'd the rear preload to get more ground clearance. My new rearset risers arrived on Monday so I can put the rear back to a comfortable setting again.

Still no idea how the crash happened Confused After the checkered flag too, atleast there was no damage done Laughing

Body position is your key. Next time out talk to an instructor, you can go round that corner fater with less lean!
Glad your not hurt, and get right back on that horse!
