Well 1k commuting miles in and no accidents. I had forgotten it was on there to be honest. My first ride on it was a little nervous as I wasnt sure what to expect in cornering or in the wet. Being honest on the commute I dont notice any difference so it gets a big thumbs up from me.

I can see how it might work for you Ballyclare,given your commuting remit,but there is nothing about the idea of a big fucking square car tyre on a bike that fits my bill. :thumbup:
Ballyclare? they're all a bit touched anyway..............

There's not a snowballs chance in hell of that passing an MOT with any of the testers I know.

It might work ok for you, but if you bin it and take somebody out, your insurance company will be wanting your balls on a plate.

Try before you buy it works for me if I rode it like I rode my tracer I would be worried but it's a commuter so the biggest bend it does is a roundabout so far it performs well. So it is staying 🤪👍👍
