[@LambChopRides]

What a legend, love the chat and blimey knew you were quick if John says so!

[@KnoxArmour]

Yeah he was so good to go out with us. Definitely taking his advice on board!! Aaron 😀

[@jamesrogers5382]

I was there on a gsxr 750 too! (On Avons) I saw you but didn’t know about the gsxr project until now. Will come and say hello next time!

[@KnoxArmour]

Nice one James, yes do so! Possibly last day for us this year on track, but hope to be doing plenty next year. Yes, loving the GSXR 750 now, the upgrades Ive done have made a massive difference, the game changer being suspension. All the best, Aaron KNOX

Any tips from the great TT legend are always welcomed. I watched him at BH in the Ducati cup series and he was nothing short of awesome. Bet you were star struck riding with John.

[@KnoxArmour]

Yes, it was a special riding moment thats for sure! So star struck I dropped my bike when I turned back up in the paddock 🤦🤣 Aaron Knox

[@verdeboyo]

@@KnoxArmour Oh Aaron, I didn't want to mention that. I dropped mine after taking it off the paddock stand. Cheers to you Sir👍🏻

[@KnoxArmour]

@@verdeboyo easy done!! 😀

[@MattP168]

[@KnoxArmour]

[@IAMMRLIMA]

[@KnoxArmour]

Welcome, John is the man! Aaron KNOX

Will you guys be uploading that “better tires” in another video?

[@KnoxArmour]

Yes will be releasing vid on Pirelli rosso corsa 2 v soon (the ones used in this video) and then moving across to dunlop gp d212 which should give much better track performance. Thanks, Aaron Knox

[@MrDeepseadweller]

@@KnoxArmourI don’t know why you say Rosso Corsa 2 tyres are no good for track. I run them on a S1000RR in fast group on a GP track here in Australia and they are awesome. Set them to 30/26psi cold and even without warmers they can handle almost everything you throw at them.

[@KnoxArmour]

@@MrDeepseadweller can't be riding fast enough 😂... No seriously, I've had 90mph power slides on my 750 on these on track. They're a great road tyre, but no good for fast track work. Need something more track oriented... unless they make a different compound for you guys in Australia. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

[@MrDeepseadweller]

@@KnoxArmour Fair enough. I doubt the tyres are any different here in Oz but I guess we have different expectations.

[@smoke05s]

Stupid question. What does MBE mean?

[@KnoxArmour]

Member of British Empire.

[@ChumiStu]

People need to stop talking about these track days, they're the best kept secret. I've done Brands, Donny and Oulton this year, hoping for the full set next year....

[@KnoxArmour]

Oops... sorry! 😅 yes its amazing to be able to ride on these tracks, the only way to properly ride a motorbike! Aaron Knox
