He may have designed the tyre BUT does he know the BIRD that has very specific tyre requirements?

Obvioulsy not.....

Well, obvoiusly YES, I'd say. That's why he designed the B version... DUHHH!!! (Which, incidently, is not specifically designed for the Bird, but is designed for a range of heavier high performance bikes, of which the Bird falls squarely into the middle of the category, making it the ideal candidate) and that's why he's currently designing a B version of the Viper........

You needed to be there really to hear it all (I can't remember every detail). Why weren't you???

Not posting to offend anyone, just an update on what I said I would do, so heres the news.

Did a long hard ride down to Taffys yesterday, but before setting out, checked and set both tyres bang on 42 psi.

After an hours and something riding of both motorway (100 -120 mph ish) and then some twisties banging it hard in and braking hard on hot roads on a hot day, as soon as I pulled up at Taffy's I again checked my pressures.

Both tyres were now at 46 psi, an increase of 4 psi?.

So, I take it that is is the 'normal' running pressure of my Avon vipers for my body weight.

If thats the case, the next time I do a 'full on track day' I'll check the pressures after a good session, see what they get up to and then set them at 46 psi and see how it handles. Would that be right??

Any comments or opionions anyone?

More or less exactly what I do! I must say that Prestwold is not very hard on tyres at all, and last time I was there I only let 3Psi out of the rear tyre and kept the front at standard pressures.
