Working on locking the dates in. Gunna check if Kevin would like to come ride also.
Pirelli Diablo Superbike Pro, a couple of years old.

According to Pirelli these don't need warmers. You just ride one lap easy to let 'em warm up.

Tire wear was good. No tearing, no weirdness, so I guess the factory-recommended pressures were good at my pace. Which, truth be told, is not that high... I was - ahem - 27 seconds PER LAP slower than the advanced guys.

Much work yet to do here.
