      So you probably know Pirelli set Speed/Distance records with the Angel STs some years ago. Pirelli testing staff and guests on a 2009 Suzuki Hayabusa covered a total of 5135.071 km (3190.8 mi) and at an average speed of 213.961 km/h (132.9 mph) over the 24-hour period, marking the new World Record. To get the speed/distance they achieved I wonder if they ran Street Pressures instead of lower Track Pressures?

      Joe I think those are slicks and race tires. The recommendation for the Q3 is close to what they run at the California Superbike School - 30/31 front, 29 rear. I run a few psi more on the street because there are more pot holes in the road than on the track.

      Yes, the 21 psi Dunlop's are race tires. Those are actually the tires that I've been running on the track recently. You do not want to run a standard Q3/Q3+ at those pressures.

      Great report Joe! I also have noted your weight loss! Congratulations! What was your formula for that?

            True, but in the meantime, it has accomplished what he could never have otherwise. Sometimes there is indeed a silver lining.

              True! A curse turned into a blessing.

                    I do these things for you since a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying!

                    Funny how that happens. Lose weight improves the hp to weight ratio and the bike is faster. Whodathunkit?
