But in essesnce it's because of the nature of your riding, not the roads on which you're doing it. A ten minute ride on those roads is going to involve lots of braking and accelerating compared with a four hour ride at constant speed on an autobahn. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'.

Strangely, I rarely use my brakes, although I have been known to accelerate occasionally. No, it's the tyres. They're true sports tyres and basically, they're crap when it comes to mileage, but I knew that when I fitted them, although at the time I never took the wife on the bike. Now I do and it's even more of a struggle for the tyres. What I need is a sports touring tyre, like the Azaro 45's/46's Lozzo suggested. They'll give me more grip than I can use, but they'll give it for longer. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
