Rolling burnouts warm up tyres very quickly with minimal damage to the thread.

Seriously, with the temperature being as low as it is and the roads being in less than perfect condition you are doing the right thing by taking it steady.

And when the temperature lifts and the grit has been washed away the edges or your tyres will still be greasy.

If you have to ask, what on earth possessed you to buy an R6?

No joke. Those motorcycle KSI statistics? That's you, that is. That's you riding your best.

just take it easy till the weathers warmed up abit, and never ride out of you comfort/skill range. if something doesnt feel right, dont do it

fair enough in answer to your actuall question at the top, on a short trip your not really gonna get any decent heat into the tyres, so youll just have to take it easy, or make the trip longer

weymouth, right on the coast like directly south of you. same ive missed it, nice warm day for a ride would be nice, and the sun to stay up long enough to warrant going out

Awsome, I know weymouth really well, i know a few people there through family, spent alot of time down there, You got some good roads!

Its annoying because i work loads of hours (lorry driver) so finding time and dry roads atm is nr impossible!

Most probably be doing a trip to weymouth when weather picks up!

What bike you got?
