Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2008A pleasant afternoon's tyre-scrubbing
That's the 090s on the smoker sorted then. Trundled up to Aylesbury (now I remember why I moved out of London in the first place) and did a FOT, winding up at Fox's. Chicken strips pretty much gone but all the little bobbles still very much present - not a combination I've seen before. There are some very, very, very slow people out there today. I passed what I can only assume was the Women's Institute Motorcycle Club on the A329 from Stadhampton to Shillingford. A shameful effort by all concerned - I've ridden BMXes faster. Shame it's probably going to piss down from now until Christmas.

I've got that on the Dunlops I fitted just before going to the island and even though I was sh.tting myself every corner I came to I managed to survive. The odd thing with the latest generation qualifiers is that the different compounds are really visible now I've scrubbed them in a bit and the softest band is only about 1/2" wide and doesn't actually have any tread on it. The next band is about 1" wide and slightly blue but still sticking like sh.t to a blanket... > The odd thing with the latest generation qualifiers is that the > different compounds are really visible now I've scrubbed them in a bit > and the softest band is only about 1/2" wide and doesn't actually have > any tread on it.

Haven't quite decided which to go for yet - suspect it'll come down to price in the end.

What time did you get there ol' chap ? I had a pleasant bimble out ending up there around 3ish - started chatting and left just after 5ish.

Got there about 20 minutes after you left, by the sound of it. I saw MPS/M&P/whoever were having a clearance sale, but was entirely without luggage so didn't bother looking in.

Aye, got a flyer in the post about it. Twas totally bereft of anything half useful. SignatureCheerz - Brownz '89 K100RS '53 JCW MCS (Cage) http://www.brownz.org/ |
