Looks like Daffy Duck wins.
We had an old guy recently turn up at an OzFireStorm meet with a back tyre we seriously thought was a slick... Turns out it started life as a Pilot Race. Seriously not an ounce of tread left & the wear was perfectly even all the way around.
Just wish I'd thought to take a pic & pass it off as mine

If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?

You can actually take the storm to the point you continously saving it on the knee, it just depends on the surface and the rider!

Who are you trying to kid? you'll be telling us that you can get the rear spinning up and smoke the tyre next!Squiffythewombat wrote:You can actually take the storm to the point you continously saving it on the knee, it just depends on the surface and the rider!


The footpeg in the pic was on my 1st storm, submitted when this site was first created back in the dark ages and to date I've never had the exhausts touch on either of my storms......

Sorry,
had another look and its not mine, beg your pardon lol, its spooky tho, it looks exactly the same as the photo i took, my thumbs even in the same place!!!!!
i was pointing out to the guy who asked that he can drag his knees with ease on the storm..seems like a valid point when the question is how far will it lean?
jonacool - sorry dude i was trying to offend you, hence the "lol" at the end.
(changing bike...well unless i get given/steal a new bike thats not going to happen and metal touching the ground...well ask ben about ground clearance on track and i think you will have your answer!)

desperately trying to FINALLY get my knee down today, I managed it (
) and also had the right footpeg down. There was a HUUUGE skkrrrsshhh when I did it, much louder than i expected. Went to my mate's house to tell him the good news - he pointed out the scuff marks on my right-hand silencer and engine casing

I swear the scuffs weren't there before today. Did I really ground these out? Shouldn't I have crashed? Can I get my femurs made longer on the NHS?
