O, and I haven't done a burnout in about 10 years.

Cheers Mark.

Mark I know the differance! I, as you know work with racers, I have done many track days, I have seen what happens to tyres when you spin them up and "back them in". What your suggesting I struggle to believe. Yes if you spin a trye it shreds its rubber, I am not disputing this. You have done brands I take it! You have also seen the trye wear that occors when you exit clearways really fast spinning the rear, you get wear 3/4 or the way accross the tyre on the right hand side.

What I am saying is that I believe you to have caused this wear by spinning the rear but not while cranked over, perhaps it is possible exiting a corner once you are upright but if you were at all cranked when the trye was spinning up the wear would be in a different place. Go watch some Garry McCoy footage!

this Wednesday is Selkent, I'll be there.

Being "the master" you obviously know how to power out of corners? but if you want to watch me, then follow me down from Biggin Hill( great roads from thre to Riverhead), and I'll follow you at some point to, as you put it " learn from the master ", as I'm not quite past it yet I don't mind the odd spirited ride, although can't promise to learn anything as I'm fairly set in my way, but you never know.

Cheers Mark.

the tyre isn't over 10 years old (don't think they made Z6's then).

Obviously knowing my bike so well and all the modifications, you'll know the theoretical top speed is 178 mph (from the final drive ratios and I not believing that's possible for one momento on anything other than a bench), and being full aware of my conversations about the bike, you'll know it's what was indicated on the speedo, realistically i'd say about 155 or so but then some people believe the SV does 145-50 mph [

lol Sarah aint the master! lol She is fast, faster than 95% of road riders but probably about 70-80%faster than other racers in her class. Now Steve he IS fast!

Now that is incredible

Let's say a race is 30 laps, 1 minute a lap = 30 minute to finish

being 100% faster would mean you could finish in half the time (15 minutes) - yes?

so 80% faster would be about 2/3 of the time = 20 minutes

so that's a 10 minute lead on the next fastest rider ?

WOW, even Rossi doesn't do that ?

Not that I disbelieve you but are you sure she's in the right class

or has she an SV1000 ?

ha ha I see what you have taken from this, I did mis type what I meant. it should have read sarah is faster than about 70-80% of the riders in her class not that she is 80% faster than them.lol
