At the final rounds of this year's Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship series, held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Dunlop offered qualifying tires to the top 10 riders for a separate, 15-minute final qualifying session.

This summer, our editor asked me if I'd be willing to put the 2012 BMW S1000RR through its paces on the race track. I argued for awhile, then reluctantly agreed… Yeah right!

Shortly after, I was at Calabogie Motorsports Park with the sleek BMW for a Pro 6 Cycle-hosted track day. Pro 6 always provides a safe and well-run track day, at what just may be the nicest race track in the country. Calabogie offers superb tire grip and smooth, consistent pavement, allowing traction no matter which line you select.
