Either that, or I'm too hard on the throttle coming out of bends

No idea of the milage I covered, mainly as I don't care

Baph, sorry mate but your tyre profiles poo (going by your pic on chicken strips) only one thing for it, you gotta get a new one. I got the same problem today with a stuffed profile on the rear. Oh and the treads pooped an all, in 2K miles

Yeah mate I know the profile is poo. What I didn't say about that pic is that it was taken just after rolling through a light dust covering on the floor, and with the lights, just exaggerated the chicken strips. But don't tell Filipe that

It's just on the point now of being able to push pretty hard & the back wiggling, it'll probably be changed in a few weeks if not before.

Yeah managed a short ride but what a ride comin outta london on M4 picked up a guy on GSXR 1000 n had a play for 10 minutes, think i did well on my little sv650k6. Came off at Heathrow, term 4 juncn he followed, pulled up at lights had a quick chat n he headed off to M25, me headed for home but ended up going past the end of my road twice as i didn`t want the ride to finish. Got in with big smile on my face, brother asked if i`d just had a sh*g, answer, "no, just a damn good ride"

I had a great ride on Sunday, I took my youngest son out with me for the first time ever. He loved it, he is only 6 so I was worried about him at first, but he was fine! Had all the gear on and looked really cute! My other son was on with the bf, he is 10. Went a cruise to Matlock, lots of people there, was great to be able to share my passion with my kids.

your bf is only 10? cradle snatcher!

Great day for a quick 90 mile tyre warmer. Also had a pot of tea and teacake at first stop . Incredible; a giggling youngster whilst on the bike, converts back to an aching crip when I get off!

roll on summer!
