Yep; them K81's were damn good tires too. Nice & predictable back in the day....speaking of which, reminded me of a Frankie Mazur moment:
================================================
I asked old Frankie once (~78' @ Alice's) why he was running "slicks" (worn out K81's), he proudly proclaimed "once they wore like that, they stick better, like racing slicks." (spoken w/huge ear to ear grin/tilted head looking me right in the eye, w/a look that said "you should know this!")
I asked "even w/some cords showing"? (me pointing out rear tire cords in center of tire...) "Ah that just to lets me know when there's less than a 100 miles left, they start making noise & sparking really good!"
I walked away shaking my head while he laughed loudly; & everyone else within earshot rolling eyes/heads & snickering too. You had to be there...
I still miss lil' Frankie... :cry
