Only difference tires and rider?

He knows he couldn't lap any decent rider in that race. The only way he can "prove" his point is a race prepped 1k vs a stock Busa. It's not a tire vs tire match. If it was you would only be able to use 1 hand and 1 foot.

I would hope so!! Thats just like saying I will race you with my 9" over multistage lockup clutch busa against your stock busa on the dragstrip.

Such animosity around here...
Flicka said:Bikes aside, you took a shot at his riding ability, when you've never ridden with the guy or seen him ride in person.
Unless there's some top secret project going on, you won't find a race prepped anything in his garage. Given equal bikes, I'd bet on Tiller more often than not.
I'm just confused about why you seem to have it out for the gixxer guys. All the time with these little comments and such...![]()

I'd give 50/50 odds that, at least on the first weekend, one of us on a similarly equipped Busa could do it. I know I could have lapped Trey on his first weekend or he would have crashed trying to keep up - just because he'd never done it before. But, it would not be fair and the odds of someone getting too competitive and wadding up their bike and getting hurt is just too high.
Donn (and/or Bret, or any other rider), I'd really like to see you do a trackday; not to "teach you a lesson", but so that you could see what a trackday could do to help your riding skillz. It would give you insight on your street riding that would be invaluable and could help save your life.

Not them personally but the if your not riding this way, on this tire, wearing this gear or this type of helmet, with this type brake lines, pads and rotors your wasting your time attitude.
They run down Donn's choice of tires because they are not the best for the track. Any of the top tier tires are more than enough for the street. Not everyone's life revolves around track days and that doesn't male them any less than the ones that does.
I am absolutely certain that Tiller or Tuf are better technical riders than I am as I have never once been on a road course. Does that make them better people or better "bikers" than me because I enjoy different aspects of the riding passion??

WellSorry, but I would rather spend my riding weekends with my wife enjoying all OUR riding passion has to offer. If that makes me a lesser rider then so be it.
Fair skies and tail winds to you all!! Br
