Really. I suppose tyres have just gotten much better. I was on Conti GP tyres. I thought the upper limit was about 115.
As far as I remember, (a few years back) the lads in Sorrento were giving out because I went up as high as 115 for TTs. Nothing happened. I just kept glancing down thinking I was riding on rims.
Have you never had blow outs on long brakey descents then? I had one nasty one that wrote off a tyre and when I went to grab the wheel the rim burnt my hand. I always brake and corner very hard since I have been driving the motorbikes though.
I was thinking that the heat blew it out. I was glad none of the lads were around to tell me they told me so.
