    Reminds me of a Mini 850 with front-end woes of the expensive kind. I drove
    around with malicious intent, determined to get it fixed at the expense of
    the first driver of a good car who didn't give me right-of-way. This was in
    the days of give-way-to-the-right (and in my bulletproof years). No bastard
    gave me an opportunity! Fuckin thing fell apart unpranged.

    If you want to ride a way out of Sydney, Carl at Cafe Racer in Bathurst fits
    Metzeler, no charge for fitting, no disposal fee for the old tyre, and he
    cleans the mold release off the tyre so you don't lose it gunning into the
    first corner.

    ME55A recently (rear on my old GS1000G) cost $180.

    If you don't wanna go all the way to Bathurst on your lonesome,
    talk to Danielle and the crew at 'North Riders', a new Sydney bike
    club that just formed in the last year. They make semi-regular
    tyre-runs to Bathurst for the combined porpoise of going for a
    bit of a run to Bathurst, and buying tyres from Cafe Racer.
    Apparently his prices are worth a trip up there from Sydney.

    Small group, nice folks, no arseholes.

  4. I never managed it either. Kept instinctively jumping on the brakes/swerving
    and the bastards got away scott free!

    No arseholes? Now there's a source of flatulence grenades for
    the Pentagon!
