Hey! The site is really cool! Thanks for all the work on the R6. The new graves exhaust is the shizzle. Spinning it up now feels like a side kick to the chest. Very cool sound. The 115 horses ain't too bad either... And thanks to Barry for the race tires. I was really looking forward to those. I got home and started thinking about what you said about tire warmers. The Q's on my streetbike, I like to give them about 10 to 15 minutes of riding before I start to push on them. Heck! 10 to 15 minutes and I got maybe 3 laps of tracktime left! That little light in my head went off "Wow! I'm gonna need tire warmers!" Santa is usually pretty good to me. It's either gift cards to Joe's (formerly known as G I Joe's in pre PC times) or EDR's . So I WILL be in. I haven't decided yet on the adjustable ones or the straight temp ones. I'm alone on trackdays so the less I have to think about the better. What's Barry say? What's the best temp for the 208 GPs. I'm gonna trust your judgement, you haven't led me wrong yet. Oh, I've got the GPR stabilizer figured out. 0 to 20 clicks then starts all over, very cool, easy to use. Thanks again. Marc Lepschat

trust me! you will HATE that you used to do trackdays without warmers!! they are night and day!!! I told ya we got two sets in stock, 1 is set thermo for only $250. the other is fully adjustable for you only $325. I know laura has some for sale too if not interested in ours, hit her up on here but i think we are the same price and make. either way i want you on warmers!!! your bike is 100% track now....so step up! :D

Tire warmers do help quite a bit. Not only does it help with tire life, it also gives you the confidence of having a firm footprint underneath when you are charging hard on the first lap.

I have been using the TyrSox warmers mainly because I got a sweet deal from Acy (thanks again btw) on them, and they are good enough for me to use while in Novice. I do plan on upgrading in the offseason for sure though.

+1 hate to say it. Honestly buy a GOOD set of INSULATED and ones with an adjustable thermo if your gonna race often. If you guys want you can also ask Laura Lynn (sp..sorry) she sells great warmers too..

Set the tire pressure at 30 psi front and 28 psi rear. You want to set the tire temp at 175 degrees on the 208's, usually will take about 35-40 minutes on the tire warmers.

most components made in USA, assembled in China. We're working on the smaller sizes, we have to order a large qty to make it worth shipping - it's a goal for 2008 though!

Oh, I like that one. How much does that one cost?

Barry, thanks. Just what I was wanting to know. "As it is written, so let it be done...."

Eric, I'll be in soon. Thanks, guys.
