Hey again all.
Steve and I made it in one piece. However I did find out that there isn't as much grip on the wall of the tyre as there is on the tread. Leant her over a fraction too far doing 40 through a posted 55 k corner and the back end slide quite a distance. The good news is i reacted and regained control fairly quickly. Plus i can now measure the chicken stirps in negative figures as the ridge between the tread and the wall of the tyre is now scuffed. Dont freak i loved it. It felt awesome sliding knowing that it was cause i'd run outa rubber.
Had a fantastic ride home and am glad to hear that others still have the rubber side down.
Cheers to all,
