Earlier this year I raced a TL1000R down Lookout Mountain. Horsepower don't matter much going downhill. On the switchbacks, he went into the opposite lane to shave the corner. Super unsafe and I hate it. I stayed in my lane and kept up with him all the way down. And we went very fast. At the bottom, I pulled up next to him. He gave me a thumbs up when he saw me on my old GS1000.

I dont hang around douchebags like that, I usually turn around and go the other way instead of encouraging them to kill themselves or another biker by pushing them beyond their limit.

Most of these guys are just getting started and are just a bit beyond normal track days.
Generally they are qualifyers or whatever the bridgestone equivalant is, as bridgestone and dunlop are track sponsors.

STT and NESBA usually just have a tire guy of their own and just sell new. WERA boards is where I would look for takeoffs.
