    Rear Tyre free to good home

    Well, its WOF time today, so I've changed my rear tyre, just in case.

    A victim of vast commuter kms instead of hooning kms, its down to about 1mm in the centre. Was in use until this morning. I've resisted the urge to do a burnout to see it off, as it may still be useful to somebody.

    Personally, I wouldn't submit it for a warrant, as I need the bike mainly for commuting, but there's heaps of tread on the side, as you will see in the photos.

    For a trackday this tyre would be great. Or maybe you desparately need something to tide you by for the next month or two.

    Anyway, free to a good home. I you want it PM me and come and pick it up.

    Its a Metzeler Z4, 170-60-17.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    You want to be careful with that little 3 wheeler I see in the background - hXc started on one of them when he was less than 12 mths old - and we all know what he's like now, don't we....

    Yeah - commuting will do that. Not too much wear on the edge at all.

    FFS! You can't even give a tyre away nowadays without a few smart-arse comments ...

    this tyre should last you guys a good 5,000 kms then shouldn't it?

    At least I get to ride 80 kms a day. Pity I don't live in Featherston though...

    if you lived closer to hamilton, i'd say swing it my way, although that tyre probably won't work on my bike..
