Essex Rospa Advanced Motorcyclist monthly ride

I went out with the others in the eram club yesterday for my first day out riding in a few months. the weather held good all day apart from a few small rain showers that only lasted a short while but not long enough for me to get wet inside my NOT waterproof clothes. the roads stayed damp to wet most of the day so it gave me a good chance to learn about the new conti's. They seem to take a while to warm up but it was only 7deg for most of the day so thats not a big surprise. but when they really do offer great grip and feel, even on the damp roads i was able to get pretty good lean angles with confidence. A good day out was had by all those that attended with a stretched out route from The BP services in Boreham to a small cafe a the side of a fishing lake in Stowmarket.

Tyres Update

Well i have now done a couple of hundred miles on the new Conti Road Attack 2's in the cold wet mornings and the dry but still chilly evenings and i must say i am very happy with them. They respond well to steering inputs and feel confident in the wet and dry under acceleration and braking. Just have to see how long they last now, i think that with some months of winter riding ahead the center will wear somewhat more than the rest from the lesser lean angles so it wont be a fair test but thats just the way it is.
