Wow I can't believe your lad is getting ready for Uni already. How quick time flies by. I can remember seeing him at bike racing as a young lad which only seems like yesterday.

Totally agree Kwacky. Getting back to normal asap and the support of good mates is always key to a successful recovery.

I really wanted to get back to work after my off. My boss thought I was made, but I needed a distraction and some normality. Fair play to Guy, he's getting his head around what happened. The psychological impact can be harder to deal with than the physical injury. I had some very dark days when ...

Bloody hell blade, the most I've ever managed is two rears in one year. They where Dunlop qualifiers on the d6, and that was full ham fisted riding like I stole it miles.

How many miles you getting out of a year?

As did getting rid of Gaddafi, supporting the' Arab spring' and turning a blind eye to Syria.

I often wonder quite what dealing goes on beyond closed doors amongst politicians that actually justifies the shit they cause.

Rib eye with garlic green beans, carrots and orzo salad. The local butcher will now be getting my business, much better value than a supermarket.

Getting rid of Saddam worked well, didn't it?

Getting fat problems meant I had to miss out altogether ;( Got everything out this morning, went to pull up the zip and it broke. Tried to bend it to fix it but made it worse. I started trying to duck tape them together but ...

What a star he is,always positive and getting on with things,so glad he was wearing decent kit

... in the pit working on a truck above me, but I’m alright as long as I don’t overdo it. If it gets too much Moody or Belty give me a hand and I’m getting stronger everyday. "Having a few days off work gave me time to think about what I want to do, and realise all things that have had to go ...

... your still living apart Kiwi Don't be mate, it's the most relaxed and happy I've felt in ages. It was a bit of a rough start but now the kids are getting used to it, it's going pretty good. Well from my perspective anyways. Glad your ok mate and thinks are working out. Good to hear the kids are ...

Me getting carried away on a clean means the wheels get washed.

... about) to boiling hot track days. They don't seem to bothered with everything in between as well. I'm just waiting until funds are better then I'm getting a new m7rr rear. As for the original question. I've never mixed tyres, but I know people who have. I guess it's down to getting similar tyres ...

Given the mileage I got from my front m7rr I reckon that alone would cover any savings you might make from keeping your current tyre.

I am getting 2 rears to every front tyre with these Metzlers. so another factor is whether you're going to be out of sync if you keep your current front tyre.

... I want to try another one out. But I also don't want to buy a pair when I know there's still life in one of the tyres! I'm a tight git and only getting tighter with old age but safety is paramount, so in 2 minds at the moment. Thanks for your thoughts

If you use your bike through the winter I can't recommend getting a tatty set of wheels and putting some touring tyres on them enough. Keep your good wheels for the summer with a set of snots on them.

... smoothly and very linear with no hiccups or surprises (y) Oh and even in standard guise boy is it loud (raaar) There is no way this baby is getting on a 102dba track day even in standard form (blush) Will post some pics up later just want to get some tea for now and then drool some more ;)
