I was really keen to stick with Dunlops but could only get a front so the rear is now a Metzler ME7-Teen - oh joy, who thinks up these fucking names ? It does handle very nicely though.
Jocelyn and I are off to the South Island on Saturday, riding down with a group from Underwood & Wilkins en route to the Burt Munro. Two weeks cruisin' the south should be a treat.
