Yeah sure did, good night as normal.

Although no one turned up at the airport for the ride down :roll:

I think I might have a clue though,

I'm sorry, I'm only just catching up with this thread, but found this comment particularly amusing!

My view is simply this - There was a rather amusing picture of a torn up Z6, with an explanation of how and why it was caused. I'm not surprised, nor do I particularly care that it was Rictus that was responsible for it.

What I am interested in, is the durability of the popular Z6 tyre, and the fact that this, potentially, could happen to any of us.

Thank you for listening. :takeabow:

to be Honest Bill, the other two Z6's I had on the SV didn't go as dramatically or fast as this, I'd say it's down to the power & weight of the triumph as much as the exuberant riding.

Cheers Mark.

I too was riding on mesh for a bit due to 'end of month poverty' :oops:
I ended up garaging the bike and using the car for a a week or so- I was bricking it every time I was out, expecting a blowout at any second. :shock:

A mate I showed it to says on his first car years ago, he regularly got to that state. Once he even managed to fray the mesh so it looked like cut cable! Risky business, neither big nor clever... [-X :D
