I never touch protyre unless you can get big steve. They screwed up the balancing on my brothers and my uncles bikes. The pubescent who did my brothers stuck car weights on the rims. If steve still works there book with him. He is a big bloke with artwork all up his arms. Gentle giant though.

Roll down the hill on Coldharbor Lane for the bump start. Or if you're in UWE there is the incline past B block that should be good enough with a bit of a jog.

Pro Tyre do a ride in ride out service so probably 30 minutes tops.

And if the battery doesn’t want to play ball, good news you’re at a garage. They should be able to assist.

So its new reg/rec and battery time for you then...

I've used Protype - v-good service. Also worth trying Morpheus (967 5755) nr Kingswood. Got to be the best bike mechs in Bristol. Paul and Tim there are total belters. I get all my meching done there and I've noticed to do keep a small stock of tyres.

Never rode on new tyres b4, this is gonna be my first. How gentle do you have to be in order not to slip?

Very for the first about 200 miles. Don't do any quick changes of direction on lean angle. Try to lean a bit more ever 20 miles or so, or atleast go slowly, ha ha

I also have to hop on the motorway to get home, stick in left hand lane going really slow i guess?
