Eggs didn't fair very well in the top box yesterday. We'll three survived

I’ve just phoned my local Motorrad dealer to enquire about fitting new tyres to the GS. “We don’t have anyone in the service area to take your call, can you call back Monday?”.

 

Astonishing lack of planning not to have cover, and on a Saturday which, I guess, is probably a busy day. 
 

Now looking for alternative supply/fit…

Good Afternoon 

 

Back home after a pleasant little break in The New Forest in the campervan 

 

Weather was a bit dodgy but everything else good

Probably too far away for you, unless you want a decent ride home to scrub the new tyres in, but I bought a pair of Michelin Road 6 GT from Bike Tyres Leeds today. £333.00 . Fortunately Michelin have a £30.00 cashback offer ongoing until the end of the month, so they were ONLY £303.00

Definitely too far but bloody useful information. Thanks

I'll be booking my bike in for a set of road 6 GT on Monday at my local bike shop. Over £300 fitted. Loved the Metzlers but I find they go from looking fine to being almost bald really quick. Son in law rates the Michelins really high so giving them a go.

We have a huge pothole outside our house. 

 

 

[S-Westerly]

I was out and about on the bike today and the roads are 3rd World. Utterly dire. Saw one being "repaired ". Shovel some tar in and run a mini roller over it. How long would you think that will last? A couple of months max I'd say.

Saw them repairing potholes on our road using the asphalt tubs pushed in to place with their boots, bloody piss take. This is the kind of stuff:

It turns out that the mice in the garage loft are squirrels. Was has been declared. It is a war of attrition which went their way to begin with but I'm beginning to get the upper hand.
