    Just about ready for a new set of tyres and wanted some help or
    recommendations on a good set of sticky tyres.

    cheers,

    Rob.

    I would definitely recommend a good set of sticky tyres. Especially in the
    sizes you mentioned.

    heh. I've described it as "I couldn't have been wetter if I'd got in
    the bath".

    I you ever get the chance, get a go on full racing wets on a wet
    track. A completely mind blowing experience.

    Got 'em (standard Diablos), fantastic in comparison with the OE D207s
    on my CBR6.[1] Seem to turn in much more predictably, and also better
    around town as they don't tramline over white lines and overbanding
    etc.
    I've not had any problems in the wet, but then again I've only got a
    year's experience on these and the D207s. The crap that's spread across
    the roads behind the King's Cross construction site is another matter -
    I'm not sure how they reduce the friction _that_ much - but the ensuing
    slow-speed sliding about can be quite good fun.

    [1] they were quite squared-off though, so were bound to feel shite.

    it's hilarious around there in the wet. I remember a couple of years
    ago, heading up York Way, pretty much wheelspinning and fish-tailing
    about 1/2 a mile, laughing like a cretin the whole way.

    Oh it is. There's still less outright grip than in the dry, but
    waaaaaay more than you're used to in the wet, so for the first few
    laps your head is silly saying "Hang on, I can't possibly lean over
    this far in the rain".

    Unfortunately, like everything [1], you soon get used to it.

    Or, at the very least, some form of distribution?

    The obvious "if it's not interesting why keep mentioning it" aside I
    thought the plan was to show the footage off. So others could enjoy the
    fast well ridden machines in outstanding countryside.

    IMO "vermin" isn't really appropriate. Not that it matters.
    Cheers.

    You built it up, just as you built up everything which is now used as
    a pisstake.

    You dish it out, but you can't take it.
