remember, the guy is a living legend. he's done things most of us wouldnt think of. even now. frank's tha man! the guy is too cool.

Joe,
I bought a set of cheap ($20 each) Chin Shin (sp) tires for my wife's RD200. I took it to a track day and it would drag the peg mounts pretty hard and never had the tires slip. They probably would have caused me to crash if I could have leaned it over a bit harder, or maybe just have gotten wiggly.
