Hi all,

just got my bandit in for its mot, a service, and having a new back tire fitted while I'm at it.

I know I've got to be 'careful' with it to begin with, but for how long, and what shouldn't I do ?

I take it the idea is to wear off the top bit of rubber, so it goes grippy, but how does that work on the edges of the tire, as appose to the middle bit that I normally use smile

Had my first go as a pillion today to on the way back from the bikeshop... weee... is it weird or what smile

cheers,
Nimbus
