[SV650rules]

Several motorbike dealers by us will not fit tyres unless bought from them.

We have been up to Scotland quite a few times and I think I remarked before how grippy the roads are up there, guess it is because you get a lot of 5h!tty weather including ice and snow - are they grippier on the eastern side as west seems to have a slightly milder climate due to Gulf stream (I have seen sub-tropical gardens on west coast).

To be honest never noticed grippier roads in Wales, maybe in the mountains.
