GETTING TYRED? OF COURSE YOU ARE! YOU NEED THEM! • Black, round and full of scientific stuff; the genius that goes into those black and round things that help you stick to the roadway, whether that’s bitumen or dirt is a bit like the weird and wonderful magical potions of Severus Snape from Harry Potter. As motorcycles have a very small contact patch on the road you need to have top quality tyres no matter what bike you ride. If you skimp on tyres, don’t skimp on spending up big at the local Chemist for bandages – you’ll need them.
NEW IN THE SHOPS • Okay, none of these things are available in any bricks-and-mortar shops, but that’s all right these days because the interwebs is as good a shop as any. Better, in some ways, although very much worse in others. The main “worse” way for me is that it’s so easy to order stuff. But enough of stuff, and let’s get onto the delightful news I have for you.
