I quite like the YDT, not in the least because of the funny aerodynamic test devices one can spot on the cars...

Shaving the tyres. It's an old-school practice of removing the old rubber and pick-up from the top surface of the tyre, thus exposing a nice clean tyre surface below.

Thank you. Wasn't sure if they were adding something with heat or cutting down part of the tyre for some reason. But shaving the pick up makes sense. Thanks again!

Matte paint? I like the simplicity of it for a modern day helmet.

I'd have loved a helmet similar to the one in 2006, although I'm curious about how it looks on the top

Having your own nickname marked onto your helmet I've always found is only done by douchebags (Liuzzi case in point). Then there is the fact it's tattooed onto his arm, which (imo) puts him into the mega-douche category.


It's on the back of the helmet.

Without starting a flaming war on your return, I don't agree with you most of the time, but the Sir is the best quote i've read on this forum for a long long time. Kudos to you.
