[ST] Tyre thread!

["marc Ve" <daytona955.marc@xxxxxxxxx>]

For those wanting to fit sticky rubber: I put a set of BT015's on my Daytona
end of last year.

For the track days -brilliant! Really sweet handling tyre.

For long distance touring -scary! My last long run was a two day ride out to
Stilbay, via the Tradouw and Garcia passes.

We went via Garcia both ways, and there is a section between Barrydale and
the Garcia pass which is motorcycle heaven. More than 60 kms of sweeping
high speed bends and straights.

Far from the reach of Mr Plod and his laser traps!

We did each section at between 190 and 220 kms/h, and it just stripped the
rubber of my back tyre.

Be warned: the BT015 is not a high speed touring tyre! The tyre is shagged
in 5 000kms.

cheers
