UNLESS your running below 1:27-30's, the PP street tires work great, 10 times better than the race tires would work at that pace.
Hey pat i sold the 600rr... im bike huntin this week, might have the 1000 sooner than i thought
congrats on the bike sell....i'm still holding that GSXR deal if your intrested. let me know what your looking for i heard from lester that there is a wrecked 04-05 GSXR750 floating around that is up for sale....i think thats a perfect jennings bike...just enough power, but still can carve corners. Let me know!
very ture he might not need a tire like that, but its a type of squid protection.
EX:
the advantage to having a better tire is in case he accidentlly runs a corner too hot pirellis will scrub off speed better then the pilot powers. therefore keeping him out of the grass and/or off the pavement. just an example....
but for sure you can never get too much grip especially when you are learning. It will deffinatly give in more confidece to get later on the brakes and push it harder going in the corner, and give him a little more rubber so he can get on the gas sooner.
back when i first started a jennings i was rocking dunlop 208's (man thank god i've come a long way) i thought i knew how traction felt but man was i wrong.
not crashing is good
makes you want to come back to the track every day.
all it takes is 1 hard wreck, and you start questioning why you go out there? i did but, i haven't made it back on jennings yet, but i know i'll get back racing sooner rather then later. (oh good if my mom heard me say this she would kill me.)
