Object of test:	Evaluate usefulness of grippy tyres by increasing angle of
lean through corner. Idea being that this is faster and it may be easier to
spin up the back tyre and steer with the rear like the standard tyres

Results:

inconclusive at best.

Had to say with out timing around a course. Does make the crashes worse when 
they happen and the bike often doesn’t self right with the shorter guards and 
requires marshalling. 

I think it may have an advantage around a track at first when the rider hasn’t 
got the confidence in the kit tyres but once you can control the slide will be 
harder to say.

Must test around west London. Remind me if I forget.
