How many miles was that? When I tried a BT020 rear it didn't last 2 months.

ermm.. tyre was fitted when I bought it in September at 12,000 miles.. bikes now on 17,000+... not used as much as I would have liked over winter...

so 5000 miles on a ZX-6R aint tooooo bad!

I got 5000ish miles on the SV, so that's not bad at all.
It really was dead when I was done with it, though.

So, how was it? I assumed it was still gonna be snowing and ended up booking other things for Sat. Was gutted when the sun came out

It was reat mate, chuffin FREEZING but good. Met up about 12:00 got riding about 13:30 and got home at 20:30 we were SOOOOO cold that even after showered changed and in Bristol for something to eat I was still shivering. Went out from 10:30 today and got back at 13:30 and still cold now.
Banged off a few hundred miles lots of smiles, wanted to take some pics but he left his camera in his bag at mine and we didn't really want to keep stopping but have a look at
