So you haven't ridden it long enough to get eh feel and lean it over, yet you expect to had the keys to treacle and him to do it on his first ride?!!?

Also will having scrubbed tyres to the edges suddenly make you start flicking it on its side ... I think not That will come with time as your confidence grows, you will get further and further over ... so in short, you don't need anyone to scrub your tyres in for you, you can/will do it for yourself (in time).

ermm yes as treacle is a more confident rider and is used to riding something with abit more omph to it than a little sv like i am! i only get to use the daytona at weekends had it 3 weeks, its been used one weekend so far..

i wont be "suddenly" flicking it from side to side but i havent quite the confidence yet to take it that bit further...whereas treacle has....

they arent ideal tyres to be running in winter weather and i hate scrubbing tyres in at the best of times-let alone in this weather!

My point is - why do you need treacle to scrub them in at all?!!? ... why scrub in a tyre in a place you won't be using (for now) and not likely to suddenly jump onto; it just doesn't make any sense ...

Oh and if he is only getting a go to scrub the tyres in, does that make him a 'scrubber' !?!?

Just take a long 150 mile countryside run on a dry day, take it easy on the outbound journey, push a bit harder when your heading for home - job done.
