I had dilussions of being on the track with Alex, Mark and the boys today and for as number of reasons wasn't able to get it going in my direction...and even got to the point of getting new rubber on the black Ducati I previously fell down on at Thunder Hill,
Having had that been my real first time out on that bike with agression I was not really sure what to expect, aside from the wheee factor with all that power, where as the 748 was very powerful 748 there is nothing like a 916 with a Fast by Feracci 955 Superbike motor fitted.....o'boy are they different.
see the profile of the tire I took off the 955 after falling down, you will notice the shreaded left side of the tire, the picture is of a rear view as seen in it's regular rotating direction, and as Most of you know T-Hill Is a left turn mostly circuit,
this is after NOT doing the first session of the day, so a 208 GP A, one session less than avaliable and it shreaded it....
no wonder every time one of the really fast guys; who doesn't have a day job other than racing gets interviewed,
they are allways talking about....
TIRES.
no doubt.
