Weekend tyre service in Christchurch?

[mulletman]

God, you can't plan for EVERYTHING!

I think Gary Inman did it right: I haven't ridden for years so I'll buy a Benelli TnT and ride it across the Sahara on Michelin PRs.

Did he have a petrol tanker following him ? Those things are fuckin thirsty man

Don, pitlane, Darfield. Done.

If u are after a specific tyre call a few days first.

Good people.

No, a Land Cruiser, and he wore an open face helmet.

I quite like the ride out to Darfield. Nice ride out, bar meal while the tyres get fitted, nice ride home. In fact that was my first trip out of town for 11 months last time I got tyres fitted. Don knows his stuff too.

Yep, out to Darfield, get new tyres fitted, then home via Waimak and Ashley Gorges = a good wee ride and new tyres nicely scrubbed in

The OTHER one, silly!

They're actually fine. But they're full road tyres. New years is in at Loch Katrine at the end of 50km of gravel and 4wd track. I'll be 2 up with the kitchen sink. If it rains, I dont want to be on those tyres trying to get in there. If it stays dry, no problem.

hi m8 i was at loch katrine, were you on a 1200 bmw , sorry about the rain on new years not many turned up for the camping, the worst weather was after you left so you spilt just in time.

Hey, yup that was me. Glad I put the knobs on, she was pretty damp out there! Definitely did NOT want to be on the road tyres with all the weight I was carrying.
One of the hardest parts was actually on the gravel back from Lake Taylor out of the area trying not to get blown off the road. She was pretty gusty.

On the way back out from the Loch I made a slight error and chose the low road next to the lake in one section as I couldn't remember which way I came in - turned to deep shingle and the bike had a wee lie down hehehe. All good though, no damage.

Glad I went in. Really enjoyed it, but damn it was cold!
