Once i reach that milestone its all over, they are no catching me again.

The real problem is you pretty much run the motards flat out, so if you get stuck behind a sportbike entering a turn they kill your momentum and lap times.

Still fun though, i hope to do Barber, Nashville (it's 15 min form my house) and little Tally. Little tally should be perfect for the motard.
I run intermediate, but at CMP they run both Int/adv at the same time.....the advanced sportbike riders typically can get around me once.....but only ONE (some CCS racer) can get around me 2 times in a 20 minute session at CMP (he was friggin NUTS and passed ME in a corner)

I can't claim to get far enough ahead in the curves for any of the sportbikes to NOT catch me again on those straights. If you can do it.....you must be right at the threshold of sponsership on a motard (hats off)

On my 190/50 I am below the tail of that elephant, and 190/50s suck, and I suck even more.

It is sad, but this is one of the first things I look at when checking out another bike.

I got to agree with you there, i am usually looking at other bikes tires when we meet for a group ride. If they are toast or huge chicken strips i am keeping my distance till i see how they ride.

I consider myself an average rider, but i don't want to get taken out by someone on wore out tires or riding over their head.
