Perhaps that's not such a bad thing for the track after seeing how your bellypan was touching down :wink:
Don't go going out into your garage especially to check which tyre(s) you're running :) If you think about it next time you're out there, then great,

A couple of fantstic pictures there. Is the harbour one the same as before or have you been back there for another shot. You should get that framed for the mancave but the jacket needs removing in Photoshop as it takes the eyes focus away and it could do with a graduated neutral density. :biggrin

Apex risers are on my shopping list but I havent decided whether to go for the 3" or 4".

I realise photo's can be deceiving sometimes due to angles they are taken etc, but your riding position looks very similar to mine, and I have Renthal Ultra Low bars :thumbup:
