Steve, Thank you for all the great info! I have a question concerning the N-Tec Slicks. I've been running the Bridgestone slicks for the past 2 years and while I really like them as far as grip, feel, and wear (to an extent), I keep hearing great things about the Dunlops. I am an advanced rider on an 09 R1. Prior to that I was on an 04 ZX-10R in Italy. I was using the Pirelli's but they wear out way too quickly and just weren't that good compared to the "stones". Any feedback you can give would be appreciated as I'm looking at what to get next, for 2 days at Jennings in March. You will find that the N-Slick is the top of the line tire. I will give you some facts: just last week the track record at Jennings was broken by a Dunlop N-Tec slick. The N-Tec will also last 2 times longer than any other tire (given comparable compounds, bike, and lap times). Certainly the Dunlop N-Tec slicks will be a large step forward from the two tires you mentioned. I recommend the 6680 compound front and rear for NJMP and Jennings. You can't go wrong with that choice. Give them a try. Its better you try them and become more educated and experience, rather than thinking you should have. Excellent! I sent you a email about them yesterday, please let me know when you get a chance. John

I have been on NJMP both Thunderbolt and Lightning, as well as VIR South and Full.

How do you post pics? As I have a couple that I would like some feedback on. Thanks for your help.

Of all the bikes I've owned, each had their own special little character that I loved about it. First up was my 96 Ducati 600SS, not much power but once the suspension was set for me I could carry massive amounts of corner speed able to pass many of the faster bikes through corners, of course they would get me back on the straigh away but... which helped me later as well. Next came my 01 ZX-7R, little porky(ok alot) but the ultimate bike in terms of stability in my opinion, put it on a line and there it stays, boy was it hard to flick from side to side though. The 05 636 that I rode at the CSS level I & II was very impressive as well, actually I want one for the street. But my 04 ZX-10R with Elka rear and Ohlins cartridge front is king, for power and flickability, I haven't ridden anything like it. It does not think kindly of fools though and have found that out on multiple occasions. John
