Slapped a pair of tyres on the back of the bullet.  I think its fair to say that I had had my moneys worth from the old ones, but its still an expensive affair when they were only fitted on 2nd Feb 2013.


Thank break for that..they were beyond low!
One side was 1.7mm, other was 1.6mm

Legally bearable then ;D

Were they the Goodyears BTW :-\
Like the earlier SP9000, they fall off a cliff, grip wise, once a certain point is reached. Noticed it on way to Wycombe a couple of weeks ago.  Dunlop Sport Maxx RT were what were on there.

Jesus,6 months :o,how many miles ???

That's going to be expensive, set of rears twice a year?

With the Kumo's + Goodyear 3D winters, both are still like new. I can't see me needing tyres for few years at least!

Put some more oil in it. Again. And then drove it to Kingston.

If the customer can give me a valid IP to slap on this server, I can drive it home again tonight, via Asda in Wycombe for 64.7p per litre fuel :D

Was surprised when I drove past, that said it was when both were 69p, been a few weeks since I went past it.

It does appear to have a very slow pump though, more so than usual.  :-\

Whats Asda?  Brakkers is 71.9p, with 5p a litre off if you buy 2 small bottles of coke - ie 71.9p a litre with 2 free bottles of pop thrown in.
