I hate being that guy, you know, the one that does something bone-headed like forgetting his drivers license on an international trip where there would be riding involved. As a result I would have to forgo the street riding part of the day, but that was just fine by me.

As it turns out, I had left my drivers license at home forgetting to remove it when I scanned it in preparation for this very trip. Half the day would be spent on the track at Aragon and the other would be on a 100 mile street ride through the surrounding countryside. Pirelli organized the day into two sessions. Which is basically pros racing on the same production sport bikes that you and I can go out and buy. The new tire's design leans on Pirelli's experience from 12 years as the Official Tire Supplier of the FIM Superbike World Championship. The DIABLO ROSSO III was designed for the latest generation of high-power street bikes equipped with the latest tech and electronic control systems. No, for this fantasy the weapons that awaited were the modern two-wheeled kind, and I was about to test out Pirelli's all new Diablo Rosso III Sport tires on the hallowed race course at Aragon on a mind blowing collection of the latest sport and naked street bikes.
