Looks cool.

I'm liking the tyres too, put them on the Blade last week, feel good so far, done about 400-500 miles so far.

When I used to have Avons in the past (before I went to Bridgestones) I always noticed you used to get a weave along the egde of the tyres, not just on mine, but any of the ones I'd seen but don't on these ones (well not yet anyway will see after a bit more mileage)

looks like good fun that does, might have to go some time

Is that a wardrobe strapped to the back?


What a lovely colour that Honda is! Got to be the nicest bike I've seen in a long time ;).

[Luckypants]

Yeah I'm liking the Candy Red :( (mine is boring silver). Great photos Quiff, I think a GoldWing will suit you! :p

A VFR went past me as I cycled up the Horseshoe yesterday with some Mivv pipes on, sounded good (not as good as my Staintunes though I'm sure!) and it is nice to actually hear what your bike sounds like. Your panniers are hiding the shiny goodness of your pipes Quiff!

A thorn between two roses

:p

I've got Avon Storms as well, I like them.

I was checking them last night and it would appear that I favour left hand bends. There is a flat spot/squaring happening to the right side. :(

Guess I need to practise on more right handers. :rolleyes:

[Bluepete]

Hey Mike,

PS, nice pics Q-man!
