Ok So low temp new tires Crap I am nto sure what teh problem is here. That was my first thought wheni was slidign along the tarmac.

Then I went in the pits after the bike was brought back in and looked th tres over.

The sponsor decided he woudl try a 120 frotn instead fothe 110 that is stock o teh bike. He wanted a 160 rear as well but it came with a 150 rear.

I figure Yamaha knew what they were doing when they designed teh bike cause the 120 front washe dout and down I went.

I looked at the tire an there was nearly 3/4 of and inch that woudl never see teh pavement it really messes up teh profile I think when you mess with afater tire when its not designed that way.

Maybe its jsut teh smaller bikes this is an issue I am not sure .

But the right side of th body is now hurting like teh left.

Butnot as bad as teh high side i am tryign to recover from from last weeks crash.

Did I tell you guys I high sided I think I did.

Brain is tired body hurting.

Fuck Metzler MZ-1 tires I am going back to the Dunlops in the correct profile.


Time for some pain killers and an ice pack.

Arghhh!!!!!!!

Typing fingers don't work so well either! :LolLolLolLol:

Sorry bout the high side. They suck and it's always the shoulders that get it.

Heal up and next time tell your sponsor to get the F**k out of your pit!

Kawak yea thanks man

The hip is close 2nd on the pain scale. today is a week later and I crashed in Practice. next week one more session to scrub in new tires and then time trials and a race on friday the 4th.

hope I am healed up enough. I get to race at the F-1 track where the Shanghai moto GP is being held also the day after the GP race.

practice today was painfull right up to the point i lifted my leg on the peg and took off out of the pits.

I love racing. But I think age 44 is a bit old....ther I said it I am gertting old...damn it! :mad:

bad typing? who me? :LolLolLolLol:

My shoulders didnt take any hits when i high sided. First it was my wrists then my chest and legs then my back and the back of my legs then my hip....not necessarily in that order. I was just flippin and rollin and slidin and flyin like crazy. But my wrists definitely took the first hit....got the metal plate and six screws in my right wrist to prove that one.

Fuck dude I got old school scars ha ha. 3 Gun shot wounds, thru and thru knife wound through my left hand, cuts, slices, nicks, Road rash .......you name it ha ha.

yea I can still kepe up with the youngens. Just need to ge this tire combo figured out in short order.

I think I got it workled out for some slicks for the race if so I think I will kick ass.

I still need to drop my time by another 7 seconds to be in the #1 spot though. I got it down to a 1:23 which will get me 3rd or 4th but there is this one guy that is really fast.

7 seconds a lap on a 1.2 mile track is a lot. however with slicks adn goign all out in a race (Which does make a difference to me anyway) I think I can get there or pretty close. I have not been pushing it n any of the previous practices up to ful race speed but I will day after tomorrow and see what I can do.


I got my lines down, got the gearing set up, bikes running great as well. Just need to trust my tires again.
