Maybe we finally got through to him that he caused the issue with his tires. :-o

One of our paddock neighbors ran Power Cups on his CBR1k at ECR today, and he absolutely loved them. They're not cheap, but if they're anything like their predecessor, the Power One, then they're going to be fantastic!
