On Sunday I will mostly be .............
« on: July 24, 2010, 09:17:17 PM »
Right, got a new Pilot Pure for the front    :drool   so tomorrow I will mostly be riding like a C*nt!

I was going to get new Nissen sintered pads  but those grasping f*ckers in 'foul-ups' (Fowlers) now want  90 quid when they were 60 last year,    :nono  so I will get some EBC for 40 odd next week.    :tup2   In the meantime, I won’t bother stopping much.

So if you see  some old     :old   bald twat on a red Fazer ranting it around  give me a wave............ As noted above, I will mostly be riding like a c*nt.   :thumbsup

I would invite others but I’ve only got a vague idea of where I will be and when.

Englishers, coming over here riding like idiots!  :nono :innocent

Like you mentioned, you don't need brakes they only slow you down

Right then, the Pilot Pure is great. I've still got a Pilot Power 2CT on the back so I can't say if it will be even better with the same front and back but I would be supprised if it wasn't.

the main thing was to stop myself hauling on the bars going through S bends at speed. The lighter tire only requires pressure on the pegs to get it turning and then it says planted.

I've got a bit of video of today churning away on YouTube. As soon as it's done, I will add it here.

woohoo video  :thumbsup

What pressures do you run in the pilot pure?
I've been using Power Ones the last few weeks and have found them INSANELY soft  :shocked
I run 36psi front and back the same as every other tyre and nothing has shredded apart like the power ones.
Maybe they need higher pressures?

36.5 front. 42 rear (still a 2CT at the mo) as recommended in the handbook and after a bit of experimenting seems to be right.

The frame's touching down a bit too often now so I'm off to see my suspension guru.

I think the Power ones are more track orientated but look like they will be crap in the wet

Quite possibly, at about that time I went up to the toilets at the top then came back down. Didn't stop at Terry's as I was on a mission
