That's what is so funny about it.

Normally those guys look a small step above catatonic, I think the most human commentary I've ever had was "welcome home". (though when I couldn't remember all the countries I'd been in the last week once had one chewing my azz)

I could just picture one waking up with Jet freaking out...shit I'm laughing out loud as I type again.

I have to say I wish I had a pic of BOTH our faces when I realized what he thought I had said... all three of us had a pretty good laugh about it.

anyword on dates for Utah yet? I REALLY want to do the double this year. Some extra time to get holidays, finances and other track related crap taken care of would be great.

They still doing the bike rentals down there?

No word on Miller trackdays yet. However, I highly recommend coming down for WSBK weekend. We'll be there again for sure. It's May 28-31. Last year Apex did a trackday the day after. Hopefully that'll happen next year as well. And yes, Utah Sportbike Rental is still renting.

Sweet, thanks, I'm trying to talk jbd into it for sure. If not you may just have to put up with me.

I'd love to see WSBK, one of my favs for sure.

If you can keep the info updated, I'm looking to get out that way too.

For me watching others ride has no appeal. The three days (with follow on road riding) made the long trip 100% worth it. My biggest limiter is vacation, seems my scheduler likes fun to much and is lazy to boot

You know what that means.......

Being that close you should have made at least one day every year.... sick days .....24 bubonic plague.... only known cure is riding

Dang it...short again! Well if thats the case worst case scenario you should be able to make it each night after work!

With temp charts now:

I have used the BT002RT and while I like them that is not what you are looking for from the sounds of it. Got some BT003's sitting in the garage waiting for use (might mount them this weekend) Have used the slicks and will use them most of the time from here out (got the 003's when they were out of soft fronts)

Whats the difference between those (bt003's) and supercorsa's?

If Race Tire Service attends again as they have the last few years, they offer smoking deals on Dunlops.

brand

Yes on CBRVFRs comment I have run D208 (prefer 190's so wasn't wild about them) and D209s (good tire) also. My choice on Bridgestone was as simple as I was running BT002RT and could sample slicks without resetting stuff (and sheep are LAZY critters...even the blue ones )

does anyone have a good recomendation for DOT Race tires? I'm planning on moving to them for trackdays next year and am not sure which way to go. I've heard good things about the Diablo Supercorsas and the Pilot Race tires but am unsure which compounds to use. I'm also not opposed to Dunlops or Bridgestones but don't know anyone that has any experience with them. Thanks for the input.

I asked the tire question back a while ago. Going into the question I had a pretty good idea on what I wanted. After I changed my mind about 6 times, and was confused as heck. I've come to the conclusion after researching tires for about a year... all the top tire manufacturers (as least the top 4-5) have a good track tire you'll be happy with. You won't find anyone that has been disappointed in the Supercorsa's. They are a great track tire. However the downside is 1. They are almost twice as much as other tires you would probably be happy with. 2. You can't use them on the street. 3. They need to be used with tire warmers. The Pilot race are good too, but more “out of style” so to speak. The Pilot 2c’s are a really good tire as well. The BT 003's sheep mentioned seem to be good track tires. (I believe right now at www.motorcyclesupertore.com they are $100 off as well) A lot of people like Dunlop’s. The D208's are probably a more aggressive street tire, with the D209's being a better choice for a track tire. Also these tires through the site ( race tire service www.dunlopracing.com ?) are probably the best bang for the buck. Several people like the Diablo Corsa III's as well. They have a harder center strip, and better water gallies that go through the end of the tire. I however wear out the sides, and don't ride in the wet, so it isn't a big bonus for myself. The questions you have to ask yourself is which brand do I like, how much do I want to spend, and what is the sole purpose of the tires? I've been meaning to start up a tire pole for the track to see what people are mostly using but I'm suspecting the Dunlop’s. Personally for next season I’d like Supercorsa’s, but not sure if I’m willing to pay the price. The BT003’s might be the winner, or 209’s.

D209s work great on the track and for $300 a pair you can't go wrong.

any more on wether or not there will be a track day or group of days after the wsbk events?
Trying to get some plans laid down and I want to make sure I can ride if I am going to make this happen.
