We can always let him stay at the front!!

Bit of a hi-jack....but if you all fancy an early spring ride then i'm sure we can sort it out.But.........it will be a bit different from the last time-



There won't be to much of a dust problem but you might need to cover up your lower air intake Rich.

Count me in on that.......yes it will be sticky this time of year!!!!

thanks Andy.

Definitely up for a run whenever - still annoyed that Tom and I had to abandon our pre-Christmas run because of the snow.

(Was the right call though I was sat at my parents place in Cheltenham watching the local news the day we were supposed to be going, and they said Avebury - where we were supposed to be meeting - had been cut off most of the day with drifts of up to a metre across the roads)

Yup, what he said ^

Anyway, tyres. I've only tried TKC80s. Despite UTs pushing for me to try the e09s. I just harbour a deep resentment towards Mitas...

Ahh, I'm not pushing that hard, I just pointed out that I got mine in a few days, while you waited a month for your TKC

Well Jason (Jasext) uses the Mitas CO2 and C19..but says they are not much good on the road (maybe too offroad-bias for me)

I think I will go with the Pirelli MT21 rear, possibly either MT21 or Michelin Comp 4 front, for starters.

Guys go with the MT21s they transformed my Ten, really wouldnt change for anything else now
also had them on my R and BMW 800GS all of which went offroad really well

For mainly off road, Dunlop D606 front and rear. IMHO much better than M21 - on and off road and last longer.

For 50/50 riding the Mefo's explorers are fantastic. Recently did some extreme 4wd tracks and they were great.

Just my 2 cents.
