Re: Bikes & Bikers

Well that is the truth here too, I did commute on bus/train/bus to work and same home again in 1981 when I was an apprentice it was barking awful then and little has changed.

Re: vtrstarved downunder

You are onto it, they are the old tyres that came with the bike when I bought it new back in December 2002. When it was new I was not real impressed with the original tyres and they came off for some better suited for track days, I kept the old ones and was going to reuse them at some stage. I was o...
