I must have missed this footdown supermoto stuff sounds spectacular ............. only saw some of his antics in my mirrors on corner exit, I didn't have time to look in the mirrors on corner entry.

I am now regretting that I didn't put the go-pro on the grabrail looking backwards, would of had some fun footage.

we will have to go back up and do it again :D

mine needed the oil topping up, was below the sightglass by the time I got home.......... saves me doing oil changes as it gets toped up so often!

my carbon footprint gets worse by the hour

It wasn't my oil which needed topping up. It was just my footprint which needed replacing

It goes quite well in the wet considering. I'd have got off and walked from your place if I had known I had to get through a tsunami to make it home 8O

So note to self. 2.5mm above the wear marker it not enough tread to start with if you are going to do 1294 miles on a weekend (especially if you have Ali and Chris to hunt down :wink: )
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

Wow fek me Pete that's low. I looked at your back tyre at one of the stops on Sunday, and it looked flattened off, but not THAT bad.

Looks like you've done a massive burnout on it.

Complain to the tyre manufacturer! It's not as though you go fast :Bike:
