No, I was just throwing the typical squid excuses into the conversation for fun. I don't believe in tire break in, and I acknowledge most of my crashes were my fault.

It's in nearly every corner in the country, including most racetracks. If you've crashed, it probably played a role. TDOT actually throws patches of this stuff down at the gap just for kicks.

I crashed once, but it wasn't my fault. I only had 350 miles on my tires, so they weren't scrubbed in. Remember folks, an hour or so with fine grit sandpaper goes a long way in crash prevention!

I understand holding novice riders back from passing in corners. The issue I have is organizations that allow passing in corners, but only on the outside. There is certainly nothing wrong with...

Have you ever gotten a flat while riding? I have, and it's not a lot of fun when you tip it into a corner and the rear tire tries to pass the front. I don't know about you, but I won't chance hitting...

If your pace would allow you to get 6 days out of a tire, you are not nearly fast enough to use race tires. You would be much better off to run an aggressive street tire until your pace improves.

Bad tire info cracks me up. Contrary to popular belief, you won't spontaneously combust if you use a 120/60. In fact, some race tires even use <70 profile fronts. I rode on a 120/65 for a long time.

I would define "the zone" as operating at your true maximum potential. A "good" ride may be 90%, a "great" ride might be 95%, but reaching 100% is almost unattainable in my mind. I almost always feel...

Lines painted on the road are not a factor in my choice of lines or passing maneuvers. My choices are based on the capabilities of myself, my vehicle, and intimate knowledge of my environment.
