Chris' thing sounds like a bit of a beast. Those Toyo Proxes RA1 (or something like that) are a very good tyre for short stuff - they come on very quickly. They're the tyre of choice for hillclimbers up here.

I'd like to come down and have a run with you guys. Especially at OP GP! When are these events on, and do you have to register for the series or can you do a single round here and there?

Bugger the credit card, I'm going to get stuck into the 1200 and get it up and running again.
