... a new front tyre.

Glad I was talked out of fitting a part worn now. Had a new front to go with the new rear tyre, put on this morning and she's like a new bike!
Put 50 odd miles straight on it, didn't want to come home. Steering and stability are **** hot now. I hadn't taken proper notice of how near to being knackered the front was when I got the bike a while back but having managed to 90% get my head round riding it like it was it feels a thousand times better now, I can ride it quicker with far less effort!
:thumbup:biggrin
 
Glad to hear we changed your mind on those part worns.

It is one of the first things I do when I get a new bike, tyres always wear to suit the riders style.

My last ones had worn to a 'V' as the guy had done a couple of track days and scrubbed away the edges. When I first rode it, the bike dropped so fast in to corners it scared the **** out of me.

LOL

Cured now with a set of brand new BT 016's
 
Yeah, the old one was worn in 2003 and I had to fight it to turn it in!

I'm fecking stuck with the part worn now, have put on ebay cheap, someone might want them but I might try to return to the breakers...
