Love the angels too.

The bt21 on the bikr atm i hate but theyre so near brand new that i dont want ro change them.

Whent he rear is worn ill swap them both for angels though


Angels in the wet are just so confidence inspiring.

But infind they square off fairlynquick with heavy motorway uae
 
Angel GT's for year round commuting - awesome tyres.

If I'm not commuting though, just doing weekend/summer use inc. touring I'd go for a set of the new Rosso III's.
 
New mirrors are coming off as soon as I get home, no amount of adjustment is getting me anything more than shoulders and elbows.
Oh well, I think I'll plastikote my stock ones so they're black again rather than greyish that should make them look a little better at least.
 
Just typical, get my bike and and my gear out, starts raining, hold off for 10 minutes until it clears, it doesn't and it's now turned to hail :p
 
I went for a longer ride out yesterday and got some footage. I'm still running the bike in, but had fun.


I really need to get some new mirrors, I can't position the current ones in a way which makes them useful, so I have to keep moving my head about to see behind me.

I also need earplugs(!) I decided to take some A roads and the Motorway back to Brum, and the wind noise screwed my ears up for the rest of the day.

That just makes me want to taste it to find out just how bitter the most bitter substance on the planet is!
 
You could just get evans waterless coolant. Much better apparently. Designed to last 20 years and has better cooling performance, plus isn't nasty stuff like normal coolant.

What he said.

If you can justify the price that it costs along with the initial bit of hassle to get all the old coolant out then it's well worth it.
I know a couple of people who use it in their cars and they won't touch regular stuff now.

You've got to mess about prepping the system and things iirc if you've used standard coolant in the past though so you're looking at 4 or 5 times the cost of just flushing and filling with standard stuff.

What bike have you got? It was a buzz riding my bike home for the first time being all alone. Love it.
