    Bike feels fantastic on fresh rubber. I do sand fronts lightly and went up Blue Mountain road (twice) as id rather scrub a front at 40km full lean than 100 when I got to the tukas.

    Did the old loop through Martinborough and around but cut off at Millars Rd then back inward to avoid Carterton.

    Arse a bit saddle sore which I don't usually get so bit concerned as on tour in 2 weeks.

    Pretty warm here in Greytown. What a nice day.

    The November ride is usually with about 10 of us. North one year. South the next. I've missed last two from being sick, so amped for SI this time.

    With all the drivel and bitching on social media, kb no exception, this thread is aimed at being about riding our bikes, so please add your rides here .

    Curious about the T33 as they are fairly new. What tyres were on previously, and how does the T33 compare?

    S22. But the gap between sports to sport touring is blurring. Im stepping back but improvement makes it irrelevant maybe. Either way I'm no longer chasing grip. TBH I never pushed too hard on the road. That's what slicks and tracks were for. Roads have gravel and bumps that weren't there last month.

    The change of rear tyre made the bike feel a bit less dynamic. Pumping it up to 42 from 38 made it better. Front tyre better again.
    I'd think a fresh set of S22/23 would be a touch more lively.
    That said I put them on from new. The demo bike had Perelli Satan Diablo RoscoP Coleraine 18s (or whatever). They felt a bit dull and the S22 made it turn nicer in my opinion.
