Give yourself time then before you write off the tyres - maybe get Jeff to go out and scrub them in nicely for you?

Yup - he is 14 months now - walking and babbling well - damn they grow fast!!

No brothers and sisters yet as Mrs Skip got accepted onto the GTP - a bit unexpectedly as she has tried twice before and failed. So that's basically 18 months we have to wait. Its a shame but its too good an opportunity to turn down.

Got stradas on my SV and haven't had any problems with them, although i've not ridden much in the wet with them apart from once when it was torrential rain and i was taking it really easy.

Yep, nothing wrong with Z6's

Think lowering the pressures might help, as the contact patch will be bigger and the tyre will be at its optimum shape

At the moment you're trying to ride a rubber razor blade
