Sorry Ferret, that's one thing I can't be accused of, pie diet sees to that.
It may be on this thread earlier, or not, but I took delivery of a new service bike in 1995, it was a ST1100 fresh from Sonic in the UK. My colleague also took delivery on an identical Bike at the same time and both came on Dunlop's, I think they were something like 458's but don't quote me on it. Before we could get out of the yard we were both directed to the M6 motorway where the IRA had decided to place charges on the gantries and pylons, just to keep us busy.
Both bikes were unrideable above 85 mph, taking up two lanes of the motorway with weave, I kid you not. The advice on the above video, which I watched in training did not help. Mudley Talker's advice did not translate to Honda weave.
Anyway the day came and went and neither of us died and the bikes were on Bridgestones for the next shift. They were both transformed and pretty much rock steady to a true 130 mph. Explain that away by weight, tyre pressures, worn suspension etc?
