The manufacturer is Harley Davidson . Guess what oil they recommend ? 

Go on then tell us? My knowledge of oils beyond crude oils and heavy FO is sketchy.

£900 and I came down to £1100 which I think is a fair price, but no negotiating on their part.

What are you selling?

1st tyre was about half worn when I bought it.

2nd tyre, a Continental, good brand I thought lasted about 1500miles

3rd and current tyre, Mitas or something

4th Bridgestone coming up. 

 

I put it down to a heavy bike, 230kgs I think, puny 150x13 rear tyre and me riding it pretty hard.

Scooters do go through tyres quicker, I know yours is yet one but puny tire.

 

If it’s wearing quick it’s probably warming up quick, so touring/ hard wearing tyre rather than sports?
