Re: Two wheels good.
Fenland Classic Bike Show in Wimbotsham Norfolk today. The great thing about this event isn’t necessarily the show. It’s bikers taking over the whole village for the day and the locals loving it, even allowing bikes to park on their drives. Here’s some, not very good, pics.
Re: Two wheels good.
I've had a really good 2 wheeled week, on Friday I did a trackday at Anglesey on the international circuit on a hired track bike which was utterly fantastic , then I have spent the last 2 days riding around Northumberland and N Yorks with some good friends, many miles were covered at high speed and it was brilliant.
I checked my tyres and gave the bike the usual once over at the end of the day and my 700 mile old Avon AV80 (I think) is shot and below 1mm in the middle, being a cheapskate I bought cheap supersport tyres, which then lost 3mm of tread at an Oulton trackday last month and the remaining 3mm yesterday
Buy cheap, buy twice, they were great on track and offered plenty of feel on the road when it was dry but they were hopeless in the wet/damp, think I'll go for PR4 or Road 5's next and hope for more than 3 weeks out of a rear tyre

Re: Two wheels good.
I'm on Angels these days as I had a PR4 delaminate in the heat last year.
They are lasting much longer and not getting squirmy after 30mins of my riding. I'm damn I don't ride fast enough that I should be overheating sports touring tyres!

Re: Two wheels good.
Nope. So just got the pics of my proper camera & the crap quality versions off my phone that I'd put on FB while away.
