Just been out for about 150 mile Womble around Northumberland and the borders .
Roads mainly dry ..a bit worn ..nowt to worry about .

Jayzus if I was sliding sideways once ..it must have happened about 20+ time ..and not always in a corner .
They were tracking lines in the road and if you tried to steer out .. sliiiiiide.

I kinda liked my 021's but I came from Dunlop 205's on a C10 so really anything was better.

It wasn't at the same time or an offski :mfr_lol: That's geordie Russian for ah chucked it in a hedge ) But after hooning around for 3 hrs and a couple of slaps off Mrs WoOk for over enthusiasm the BRIDGESHITES were still STONE COLD and the roads were dry and sunny and quite mild .
Damn good day out tho :biker3:
ya daft bugger, ~~~☆☆~~~ ya do mek me larf Wooks :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
For those with a very good memory Michelin M89X (I think they were) were the worse standard fitment ever, even in those primitive tyre technology days they were dangerous, a pal of mine had a low speed off on his zzr1100 when he braked from the tremendously high speed of about 25mph in the dry and they just lost grip, but the worst example was touring western Scotland with a bike club a young rider (who thankfully I didn't know) lost the front end of his VFR again braking in a straight line slid under a car and was killed :cry:
Michelins. Ugh!

I think they've even stopped making soles to resole yer boots too :mfr_lol:
I actually left the 17 + year old metzelers on my 1975 H2c cos they looked 'Period' ....yeah really :wacko:
Just divvent ride / skate on them :mfr_lol:
On a serious note tho .. it makes me wonder how many K.S.I. have occurred thru shite badly engineered tyres !
And the blame in a single vehicle collision was laid at the deceased door !
