Three time AMA Superbike champion and Hall of Fame member Reg Pridmore now runs a popular motocycle racing school in Ohio USA, he  recently had his CBR600RR & CBR1000 track bikes equipped with Dymag's 3 Spoke Cast Mag,  and 3 Spoke Carbon Mag wheels. Reg was kind enough to write a full report based on his wealth of experience and years of racing on his thoughts after fitting his Dymag's.

It’s been said that “experience is the best teacher” and I know there’s a lot of truth in that short statement. I like to think that my initial contact with my new good friends at Oncycles.com and Cycle Cat was purely due to my past riding and road racing success and experience back in the 70’s.

Racing experience has always led up to performance products that in some cases make even the less experienced amongst us look great and feel great about even our everyday riding. That’s exactly how it is with the Dymag Wheels and Alth brake rotors from Cycle Cat and Oncycles.com that I recently put on my two Honda RRs.

But my experience began to shine through when I first jumped on my shiny red little CBR600RR with its brand new brilliant red Dymag magnesium wheels fitted with Dunlop Qualifier® tires. Wow! How nimble can it get!? Plenty nimble. The turn in was effortless and the bike accelerated and handled beyond my wildest expectations!

Next was the special ordered orange magnesium centered with carbon fiber outer rims with a new set of Dunlop slicks fitted to my Repsol replica CBR1000RR. I thought this bike accelerated well in stock trim but I had no idea what adding these new Dymag wheels would do to the acceleration. And the handling? Well, I had a new bike! Jumping on the Repsol for some hot laps around Mid Ohio’s 15 turn smokin’ new ribbon of asphalt was more fun than I have had in a long time.

It was a great experience riding both bikes. All of a sudden I realize that experience is teaching the teacher, as it has done so many times in the past.
