Was out in matlock today, it was heaving wall to wall bikes, i even gave a wave to a fellow GTR, Good day out riding the peak district, but while in matlock its amazing how many bikers have very low pressures in their tyres. I lost count how many i saw, simple basic maintenance.

Amazing !..... they are just asking for trouble ... surely these guys must realise the bike isn't handling properly ? How do they manage to stay upright ?? :no:

I reside in the merseyside area :smiley: but the ponderosa is only 1 hour ride for me, so that's mainly where my-self and a few mates head out to first when visiting northwales :smiley: we mostly ride around northwales, that's why loanwolf thinks I live there :wink:

I'm presuming these were 'visibly' low if so that really is dangerous...

or maybe you had a chrome pencil type pressure guage in your top pocket.. like Harry Hill  :mfr_lol:
