I bust my hand on one of those. I don't like hitting stupid humans with my fists, so instead I punch walls and in this case a phone booth in Newcastle, Co Down. Headbutts are free though. for stupid humans.

Dunlop TYRES has pulled it's rear slick from TT use after the NW200 issues... “Following tyre conditions experienced by three Superbike riders on Dunlop KR108 slick rear race tyres at the North West 200, and understanding the importance of giving riders the confidence they need to perform on such a demanding high-speed road circuit, we have taken the decision to withdraw the KR108 slick rear tyre range from the 2022 Isle of Man TT Races and offer the D213 GP PRO treaded rear tyre range as an alternative option.”
so... how big of a disadvantage is that gonna be against a Pirelli guy of the same stature? i guess better than them killing somebody. sheesh.
