Got to love a new pair of boots

Post by menzies3032 »

Well after 1 year on the new bike seemed that I managed to ware out the rubber on the tyres to the point where the rear is illegal. So time to fit some new boots on the bike. Got to love Oponeo.co.uk put an order in yesterday afternoon, got a set of M7’s which were on offer due to the launch of the M9’s so got them cheaper then expected and delivered to the door this morning.

Impressive :-bd ^:)^ =;

So happy with the deal considering this are sports tyre's that i know are good for road but also good for wet weather as well.

If i had gone for the new M9's would have been £150 and £118

Interesting. What for the old ones that yo hand back? I was going to pay to have the old ones disposed of but that could be £30 back in my pocket.
Have had a look on their web site and cant see anything can you drop a link for where you have seen it

Thanks for the heads up, but went M7 not M9 and bought separately then had them fitted separately and not from a Metzeller main dealer so bit buggered unfortunately however a great scheme from people that are looking now

Andy very happy with Oponeo and their service really great. However I was very stupid and included the wheel change into my BMW service and got totally raped by labour costs.

Not sure where your based but would recommend The Motorcycle Company in Newton Abbot for tire fitting. Sure there prices will have gone up in the last year but last time i went to them with loose wheels they did a tire swap for £10 per wheel.
