New Metzeler M7RRs on my R1. Just curious to see if most Folkes run pressures as per bike guide book. Or do you run slightly lower. Always have been in my mind that running slightly lower would get better contact patch for 'real road's also better absorption, heat carcass up little quicker? or am I ...

I've been wearing my Rukka trousers for the commute to work. Weather was supposed to be hot and dry today, so I've put my leather jeans on.

Forecast says it's going to rain this afternoon (headbang)

Re: Finally new tyres time for the R1

yeah I was also surprised. Especially as I had previously used PR3 tyres and loved these. Only time I had the PR4 and never since. Would have had PR3 on if it weren't for the garage no longer having them. Anyway been on ST since (the old trusted favourite mile muncher)
