Default Motorcycle Tyres UK

Right, I've got to find motorcycle tyres uk on saturday... anyone got any tips? Their map looks like the road adjoining the a12 isn't actually adjoining it...

I COULD look it up on streetmap I suppose but still, any hints and tips that aren't obvious would be welcome.


... hopefully my back tyre will last til sat...

If it's the one I'm thinking of the road runs parallel with quite literally the kerbside barrier and a pavement separating it from the A12. And the turning is actually straight off the a12.

If it's not the one I'm thinking of then I have no idea.

In brief then, whereabouts along the a12 are we talking here??!!

It is adjoing it. I believe there may even be traffic lights there and everything. Good luck. That "multi map click here" link under there's is a better guide...

He hates them. Big time. Why? This is a good question, and one that has not been fully answered. I love 'em, other peeps love 'em, but not our Viney, or (strangely ) BBC. But naturally they're entitled to their opinion (even if they are wrong ).
