9'705 miles, still a bit more to go

Just had to get another Rear tyre as it was well down. so you could start to see the braiding.. well it covered 6k that was 3k more than my Stock Dunlop. I think the tire pressure was the thing which caused the premiture wear.. That or over excessive engine braking, might even have been all those Scottish Sheep I had to brake for on my Hol's
I was running the old rear tyre @ 41psi instead of 36. so I now have a new, Sportex on the rear running at 36psi.
The front tyre (roadtex Z6) has no real sigh on wear, Still has loads of tread left, and that has been running on 33psi.
