Could have just been all the people running their car air conditioning (being the first really high humidex day of the summer) and some water droplets collecting along the road in certain places. Maybe some oil droplets, who knows, generally the grip should be better when hot though, up to a...

It started gradually, but within the last ~3-4 yrs free air has all but disappeared. I have my own air, but there are still times where you might be out riding (or maybe bicycling) & notice that you're low. Those times now suck big time. To me, a quarter seems fair, but a dollar just kind of...

There are books available as well like twist of the wrist and others. That could serve as a good primer before venturing out onto a track for the first time. If money is a limitation, I would skip on the school and just go to a trackday. You won't get the same one-on-one time, but you will...

Price drop to $120.

Basically, your contact patches will be extremely reduced in size at the Max inflation pressure. This is not good from a handling & traction viewpoint. You only have 2 contact patches and they are significantly smaller than those of any car. Combine that with a drastically stronger power/weight...
