Ey up Gruff.....been a long time mate. How are you?
Hi UK Totty. Yes it is quiet...…...lots of factors...fekkin Facebook for the instant soundbite/gratification high....lots of us are guilty of that. Then theres the no longer Blackbird owners that have move on to high tech, highly expensive , unmaintainable modern bikes and finally the tablet/laptop, which over the years has killed the forums for me. I fekkin hate tablets and laptops with fekkin touchscreens but now I have seen the light. Today, I finally got set up with a proper tower poota, mouse and keyboard.....soooooo much easier to write bollox.
As for tyres….well, that a well trodden path isn't it. Bridgestones, Avons, Michelins and cheap and nasty Maxxis, which cough cough...I got at £89.99 for a pair from M&P. They are on my Pink Bird and cant fault them, although it must be said I am no riding God. On my Titanium (Khaki Duncan ya bastid) Bird I have always used Avons, from Azaros then Storms and now the Avon 3DXM, which have now been superceded by expensive Avons I cannot remember the name of. The 3DXMs are very good and do give you that extra mileage at a very good price if you see them about.
That's my 2 pennorth on the bloody subject.
Anyone else?
