which tyres?

  1. And is nearly always the cause of shredded tyres. The number of times
    I've seen guys boasting about trashed tyres at track days. "I've been
    riding off the edge of the tyres". Bollocks mate, yer suspension's fucked.

  2. Only because I can't speak Italian.

    Incidentally, Mike Edwards took my bike out and told me the suspension
    was partially seized. Got it fixed and thereafter tyres lasted *loads*
    longer. Smooth wear all over.

    Not quite, crashed while testing braking limits of tyres while leant over
    because Mr Myopic in car pulls onto roundabout in front of me leaving me
    nowhere to go except tarmac surfing. Had spent most of the afternoon doing
    the hooning thing around Manchester's roundabouts with Flook, Spete and
    Christofire.

  4. I can vouch for this, having followed Andy in the *very* wet when he was
    on Rennsports (or was it SuperCorsas - same difference). I wouldn't have
    tried it mind.

    Having said that, my bike would spin up with tractor tyres on.
