finally got a new front tyre fitted to the divvy today. and i have to say i was shocked at the difference. not the overall feel of the bike at 80 though a little more stable, its the slow speed that is fantastic now. i nearly oversteered into the opposite lane of a known bend as i wasn't expecting the grip. the brakes feel sharper and i swear i could give an endo a damn good go! Very Happy
think it must be the fact that now the tyre has actually got tread that it warms up quickly
should have done it a long time ago!

Sweet. I can't wait to get my new tyres fitted next week. It will make hell of a difference to my ancient, rock hard, cracking dunlops. I will actually get some proper lean on the go.

Just in time for summer eh? Smile
