    And what did he say?

    +1 on Carbotechs. Best thing ever was after Mark rode with my during Autox, he told me "I didn't think we were gonna stop" for the first hard right after the first slalom

    2fnloud, that's why i'm a fan of 2-piece rotors. well that, and the hats are easy to paint. i figure that 355 2-pieces are about like 330 1-pieces for being a heatsink. but i freely admit that part of the reason i want a BBK is aesthetic.

Stock rotors are good and safe.
    That is what he said
