    Hi Mick.
    If weather ever changes maybe have run across to Washington Wildfowl for a cupa. We may set off together but you will definitely get there before me! Advantages is first one there gets the teas in! My bike is totally standard with 5000 miles. Would be a shame to mess with is now, maybe?????
    Cheers buddy

    Never a shame; depends upon the type of mod being considered AND the state of the wallet!:D

    Welcome DanMac, IMHO all tyres deliver whats required,it depends what you want from them. Tyre pressure and heat are the key factors to given grip. Im not sure for duration/ mileage. Enjoy the ride.
