Meanwhile, down the road in Coventry the hipsters are busy..

Supercorsa if it were me and they are the road biased version.

A sporty road tyre should be ideal IMO. They'll warm up pretty quick out on track and they're good at keeping the heat, but they're designed for European weather so should be better suited.

I have no idea how quick you are. I've heard fast riders say that the m7rr limits can be found on track.

I still can’t believe 4 wheel motorcycles are allowed on public roads in UK. NZ and Aussie they can only be used on private land. I don’t see any need for them to be on the roads I agree..... legal or not, I just can't see any practical purpose on a public ...

They're everywhere. I was out for about 3 hours Ava I must have hit at least 8 sets of temporary lights.

4 lots of roadwork b traffic lights to deal with tonight just going to the gym.

surprised they are investing road bikes still

... see...Band-Maid...an all-girl hard rock band from Japan I've been listening to for a while now. I just found out that they gigged right down the road... well, 20 miles or so down the road, just a week ago. I had no idea that they were back touring, let alone in the US.!! I think this is the second ...

... dark screen from another in the showroom and a few other bits, full service and half price next service. The bike already has a nearly new set of Road 6's. I'm sending him in to do my negotiation next time I change bikes, I don't know how he does it.

... call rather than disaster. And so stereotypical Aussie (lol). Early into the trip up on Saturday (left 6am) as I entered into the 150km windy road that cuts through a National Park, came around a tight corner to be met with two kangaroos on the road. One on the left edge of my lane and one ...

... Could be a contender for when the XR's finance is up. EDIT Mid afternoon a friend called me to say he had found another Fiat 500X just up the road from me and I should go look at it, so I did and it's a lower spec and needs a damned good machine polish but is much cheaper and if I do buy it ...

Small update at 6900 miles I have had a pair of Continental Road Attack 4's fitted, and of course I tinkered while the wheels were off by cleaning the callipers out. then cleaned the bikes belly and even under the swing arm ready for it's ACF treatment. ...

... Goretex boots for myself and about to take the wheels off the XR for a trip up to see Cyril at Bike Tyres Leeds for a pair of Continental Road Attack 4's. I had the RA3 on the Superduke GT and they were fantastic with all that power to deal with so the new version with better wet grip ...

I used to wear through the fronts just as fast as the rears on the road. I'd end up with a very triangular front tyre and it was also worse when I commuted.

Browsing tyres for the XR, the front Road 5 has "gone off" and worn more on the sides than the middle, a couple of times yesterday the bike ran wide for no apparent reason which with oncoming traffic on a left hander has a high pucker ...

The traction from that water cooled beetle is amazing

I've been doing the same recently on the speed. Popped out yesterday evening for a couple of hours, 50/50 between fast A roads and single track lanes. Did manage to find a bit where the road drops away, quite quickly... Especially at a slightly naughty speed... Both wheels airborne ...

... it to 140 , then 150, ... then 155, ... Suddenly he thought, "I'm too old for this nonsense !" So he pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police car to catch up with him. The officer walked up to him, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in ten ...

I can honestly say you don't get the same level of abuse when riding a mountain bike on the road. I think it's the lycra that makes everyone assume you're an asshole. Unfortunately, the reason for that thought is because of the extreme minority
