Hello Ian, i'm here too !

Thanks for organising Si, cracking day out on some good roads. Thought the junction markers did a great job. Nice to meet new faces too.
Cheers, Jon.

I used to get the same,but i ride a vfr800 which is a bit more upright position than an r 6,but i am getting on a bit!!
I was told to relax my arms and grip the tank with my knees,it does work,and ive now got gel grips on which have made a big improvement too!
Hope this helps.

30p??? is that each or per bike? cos if its each i'll have to make the mrs swim to the other side!

Bloody good idea mate! Did the cheekyness work and manage to sell it?

Where did you get it plugged?
I asked pro tyre on marsh barto to plug a rear tyre and he told me they dont plug bike tyres with a certain rating.(ie something bigger than a scooter tyre)!

I rode the crediton to bickleigh road last week and they have put some big loose chipping patches on it all over the place!!

Aaah and there was me trying to think of a good road in the southwest!
You're right si,what a cad you are!!

You'll have plenty of suggestions and opinions,but the hard part will be trying to pick one.! I asked a similar question a while ago,got plenty of answers and ideas,but found it very difficult to choose one. In my case it would have to come down to price at the end of the day. But i must say the bt0...

Ok. Ive looked at the pr2's and the bt023's,and theres hardly any difference in price,and all the write-ups say pretty much the same,ie ideal tyres for everything. So how do i choose what type to getAre there certain make tyres that would suit the vfr better? Or shall i just toss a coin and go for i...

For an extra £20 and if they're the better tyre then i might go for 'em!
Thats going on the basis the more you pay,the better they are!!

Oooh now you've made it harder for me to make a decision.
Is there gonna be much between the 2 makes with my riding style,or is it a case of suck it and see??
