    yer it started to rain just as I took the dogs out.

    Looks a little better now ish

    but I have a brand new set of tyres on that haven't seen any tarmac yet so they are always fun for the first few miles even on summer roads. :eek:

    I might give it a try in a while just to get out for a bit .

    no the old ones were bald so more forced

    Finally I have finished what I needed to do. so I will head out on a very slow ride to try and scrub my tyres in. It's going to be interesting as these take 3 or 4 miles before is stops feeling like riding in diesel on a good day.

    Well the tyres were well behaved not even a sign of any slides or spins. Managed the second half of the ride at normal speeds for the amount of crap on the roads.

    heh, Tom had one smiley bit, along the Coast road towards Seaford, overtaking on the zig zags, I think doing around 3k revs, in 4th, opened the throttle quite a bit to get past 3 (I think) cars, back wheel broke loose and spun, eased off throttle little, as the Traction control kicked in, still accelerating hard past all of them :)not happy Bike wet now though as was hoping out for a dry run, might have to use it again tomorrow to dry it out :(, wanted to use the Husky.
