Tend to ride like a nun round corners/roundabouts/junctions at this time of the year. Roads tend to be greasy as, and there's the added challenge of diesel on top :( I try to stay upright n slow, esp. round town. I've soooo got the wrong tyres on one of the bikes at the mo and regularly spin out the rear when starting off, esp. uphill gradients. It's nothing to do with my explosive power(in my wildest dreams....there's still no chance :)) but how slick the roads are, coupled with the wrong tyres....... |
