Lozzo

I only stick the warmers on Danny's ZX10 wets for about 20 minutes before he goes out. It doesn't take much for them to be completely ripped to bits if it's not wet enough out there.

I've seen him out there putting in good times on a patchy damp track with slicks, and he assures me that you just need to keep pushing on a bit to keep the heat in them and they're fine.

When I rode his bike at Mallory it started to rain just as I was 3/4 way round Gerards and I was on slicks, they coped alright as there wasn't enough water to make me slide and the heat was staying in the tyres. Admittedly I crapped myself when it started to spot with rain, and I came in on the next lap then went out again after reassurance from the man himself. Getting your knee down with rain falling gently on your visor is a weird feeling, especially when you know there's no tread on your tyres. It certainly wasn't wet enough to warrant putting the wets on and he went out for the rest of the trackday on the slicks.
