Thats it Nick...spend so much on it that you could have bought a 848.

Consequently the weather doesn't look great for tomorrow.

Heavy rain until around 9, then light drizzle for the rest of the afternoon. That means loads of spray/crap and i've just cleaned the bike.

Therefore i'm out and am going to attend uni.

Have fun guys.

I had the SV out this afternoon, albeit only to get to the quacks and back.

Holy moly, what a barge. Even wheeling it out of the garage it felt like it weighed a ton. Desperately in need of new hoops too - feels like I've got a car tyre on the back.

So. Tyres. Somewhere in Reading does a ride-in ride-out?

I think ride-in have been mentioned on here before. Might pop over there on Saturday. I usually use FWR, but I CBA riding all the way to Kennington just for a new rear.

I bet it rains. There's nothing quite like scrubbing in a new tyre in the wet...

Worth giving mark a call at ride in. Just to make sure he's got the tyre you want in stock.

I'll have a peek and see what I need this evening (albeit by torchlight)

If I only need a rear I'll have another of the same. If I'm going for both, I'll need to decide what to get - the 7R was a D207RR-only zone so I've not bought sensible tyres in ages.
