    Looks absolutely mint. Not even a yellowed header. Better give it a good thrashing to bed it in properly

    I suspect you may be on original tyres? The manufacturing date is on the side of the tyre - if original and with such low kms they may be aged and not offer their best in the grip department. If you find it moving about a bit this may be the cause not the bike.

    Oh yeah, old tyres! I hadn't even thought of that! Doh!

    Cheers for pointing that out. Wish I'd thought of that before thrashing it back from the naki on those crappy surfaced roads in the hills.

    Least I made it back without any issues.

    You'll feel better when you're picking yourself and the bike up off the road?

    Yeah I know. Doesn't stop it hurting though. Also doesn't stop me picking myself and my bike up either come to think about it
