Me and viffer were going to go to Brands Hatch today (weds 24 April 13) to watch a few friends doing a no limits track day on there bikes, until i realised my tyres were a bit on the worn out side. So new tyres were ordered on Monday which arrived on Tuesday a trip to the shop was arranged for weds morning to have the tyres fitted and all was done with plenty of time to still make the trip to Brands to watch some bike racing. I bought Michelin Pilot Power tyres this time as i don't ride so much in the bad or cold weather where there maybe not as good as the road 3's. So after a steady ride home from Brands on the motorways and main roads i got to South Woodham Ferries and the back lanes towards home and i got the first taste of leaning with these new tyres. Wow there sticky and they turn in really quick and offer far more feed back and confidence so far i really like them. We'll just have to see how long they last as the PR3's totalled about 9k miles. Viffer has rolled the mileage over to 99k on the way home so not long till were over the 100k mark. How many bike engines last that sort of mileage and still don't burn oil and still have a sweet gearbox i wonder. We have been together now for 6 years and have covered over 65k miles together. She's only broken down once in all that time and that was a rotten water hose in between the V of the engine. People are always saying i should get rid of her and get a new bike, but nothing i have sat on feels as comfy as the 750, and besides i can quit often ride around better bikes that have bad pilots on board so shes plenty capable enough. If your bike is a old trusted friend that you cant bear to part with let me know about it in the comments below.
