Cows go boing
Got out to the Supercross on Saturday to watch the Lawrence Bros battle it out on home turf. There was some good racing all round. I'd given up on the Aussie supercross scene years ago. The last good one I went to was when Chad Reed came and raced down in Geelong, but even that was a gimmick as the local Aussie riders just weren't up to speed. Different story these days with the Lawrence's being best in the world and the local talent also going super quick. Cool to see how far it's come along from 2nd gear tracks on a tennis court to full blown SX tracks in a huge stadium. Good shit.
They even had an ebike race on Hyperbees.
And a Hot lap

You know they could have gotten a road contractor who would have been able to lay that out flat without all those lumps and bumps.

The speedway racing was earlier in the year also that track was built in 2 days... If they got a road contractor onto it they would have started in June with a promise of having it ready by Xmas, to then have that blow out to Easter...

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
The Lawrence brothers are so damn good to watch.
So clean. That little tyre tap was gorgeous
The Lawrence brothers are next level. Jet is so smooth and creative. To watch on a chopped out moto track is unreal. He knows how to read a track that’s for sure.
I think Aus super cross was prime in the 90s. Tracks have changed a lot both motocross and supercross. Not the booters like the old days. Now long ski jumps

Road 6 are a great tyre - had them on the MT10 and the ZH2 and they are front runners when I need I tyres for the FJR - good mileage - good grip - have been reliable for me - You can ride them hard and get predictable results
That’s what I wanted to hear. I’ve always run pilot powers (lots of variations over the years), power cups at times but they are no good if there is a rain cloud in site. This is first set on the triumph in 11 years by tyre date. I’m sure lots has changed over the years.

The Power 6 may have more grip overall especially on the edge but if your road riding you would really be pushing it to upset the Road 6’s to the point of letting go - The best I have ever ridden were the Rossi IV’s in the sticky version - On the MT 10 - they could have ridden upside down on clouds I reckon but 3000kms for the set on the road

Levin the moment
am usually tossing up between Road and Angel GTs (have A-GT2 now), both good enough for road (for me), but Road 6 are supposed to be bit better in wet? might go Road 6 next.. (or T33s)
S22/23s were lovely but more than I needed and not always happy in wet, probably similar to Power 6?
This will be the first sport tourer tyre I’ve tried. I’ve always use sport or track tyres. Grip over longevity.
The tread pattern on the road 6 looks good. Can see why they would be good in the wet.
I’m sure they will be fine and probably a smart choice for Tassie were we get 4 seasons in one day.

They arrived. Look well made, can’t wait to get them fitted and try them. Probably won’t test ride for another week.
Fired up the 675 last night. Ran like a dream. Should be ready to ride for the weekend. Few set backs but think have everything sorted now
