KTM MotoGP Tyre, Buriram
Me? Until this was sorted I'd sack the next lederhosen clad idiot who showed up with serrated aero bits. And anyone else about who even looked like him. And not 'surplus to requirements' sacked, but 'tied up in a bag with wild beasts and tossed in a river' sacked 😠

Der Reifengriff ist alles, Dummkopf
In Engineering Analysis we called these events 'showstoppers', meaning until an RC16/25 manages its Tyres as well as a GP24... WP suspension, weird V4 angles, weirder exhaust systems & serrated aero rubbish aren't solutions, only noise masking the issues 😠
Racing bits act like wildlife:
Herd < Critical population level = extinct.
'25 Grid = 82% Öhlins / 18% WP
'21-'24 Top 10 = 85% Öhlins / 15% WP (2/3 from Binder)
Öhlins' data from grid's best aero. WP's from ChatterMeister.
Extinction History: Nissin post-Gardner. Showa '07-'08 ('cept Dani) 🦕
The Dynamic ESA suspension on my '15 R1200RT is almost as good as the conventional Öhlins shocks I had on my '04 R1150RT. Almost.
'81 Laguna Seca: Rob Muzzy was kind enough to give me 15 minutes of his wisdom on a late Friday afternoon. Came away with specs and a lesson that took: Run what the winners run.
Ever since I've had a horror of those who insist the best way to scratch your bum is by reaching over your shoulder 😉
