Johnny, what do you mean you found a few icy bits of road :shocked: the whole bloody road is covered in the white stuff. I've seen less shut down airports!!!

Lol.

I mean it was only a cuple of places that was 50 m long or so. There was no sunlight here.
Road was great between the icy bits. I belive norwegians are more tolerant of icy roads the most UK drivers  :ninja:

Pilot Road 3, I get about 8,000 miles (13,000Km) from the rear tyre.
Front lasts about 12,000 miles (19,000Km)

:mfr_lol:  surely that should say 2500 miles. I remember Kevin used to say he got about the 3000 mile mark on a PR3.

Andrew-MP

It not funny at all!!  As it is ONLY 250 miles on account of several untimely punctures.   :mfr_lol:

Thanks to Winston though, I am running on them repaired and I now have my last one at the dealers just waiting......

2500? I can only dream.    :yes:

Lonewolf

Andrew,  :oops:  sorry, I thought that was a typo. Even so, if I only got 2500 miles out of one I'd be miffed. I put some PR3's on in March 2012 and I'm still running on them now 8k miles later and they still look good and perform well.   :popcorn:

Yeah, but you also have to clean only the back of your helmet after a ride.  :mfr_lol:
The later you brake the longer you go fast.

mecki, ask 2kwacks, I can get a wriggle on when needed. I just usually choose not to, steady eddie by name and by nature.  :scooter:

Great video clip Johnny....I have to agree with you about the choice of backing music which reminded me of these two back in the early 60s  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
