Bring the bike back to the shop and politely ask for your money back, it's obvious you don't need to be riding a motorcycle.

Wow.  Who pissed in your cornflakes?

It's obvious that you lack social skills.

The amount of grip will be determined by the pressure in the tyre at any given point (this is a point you need to be clear on...PROPER AIR PRESSURE LEVELS based upin load,,,do the research).


thank you for pointing this out to me, i will do my research on this right away.

As for lacking confidence, i agree completely. I wish i could haul off to a track school right away but unfortunately i have a busy work schedule right now, so for the time im trying to put as many miles in as possible,  riding to work and takign long twisty rides on sundays [moto] gaining confidence as i go (but not too much). the dragons are holding up fine. im waiting to put the diablos on until i have the equipment gathered to do it myself. (cant stand to pay a shop)

i look forward to attending a track/riding school in the future  waytogo

You and me both. For right now, get a good warm and sunny day, ride relaxed for a few minutes, to get a little heat in the tires, before cranking it up to 11. Then, progressively feel out the front a bit at a time, to establish how silly your previous worries were. I used to use a stretch of the Natchez Trace for this - just a few miles of 45mph marked road that had big sweeping curves where you could easily memorize the order, and the pavement was in perfect condition. Its also how I seat-of-the-pants evaluated modifications to anything I had made.

I always buy used Super Corsa's from wanabee racers ,they are good for about 4000 km roaduse
Best things are the grip ,even in the rain ,and i tried this  Evil and the price (i pay about 50€ for a back tyre)

Why would I do that?
