    Let us know when you graduate from that cage to a 160HP Gixxer with release agent on the tyres so we can see if you make it out of the bike shop driveway.

    Didn't laugh. I winced, and now my day has been ruined.

    I think it's a combination of the Suzuki leathers and the mirrored visor. It's just too much awesomeness for one bike to handle.
    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    New tyre shine, All new tyres have a wax coating on them so that they do not stick to the mould when being made. Also gives them a better shelf life.

    so are they supposed to ride slow for a while until they heat up or something? Or maybe wipe the wax coat off? Useful to know if I buy a brand new bike sometime

    Yes. Any dealer or tyre shop worth their salt will remind you to take it easy for a few kilometres when you ride off on new tyres.

    That's truly tragic, and has caught out many many riders. The protective coating on new tires is a tricky thing, the trick to cleaning it off the tyres is to lean out as much as you can while leaning the bike in as much as you can, starting with a little bit and then doing it slightly further each time.

    You don't need a new bike. All new tyres have it.

    Reminds me of the sign at Cycletreads -

    All new tyres are coated in wax and need to be scrubbed in, however if you ignore this warning we do stock aftermarket indicators, clutch levers, gear levers and pegs!



    Someone should have told him that....

    If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.

    The fastest way to scrub off the new tyre coating is to find your self a dirt road, and go for a bit of a blat.

    Edit: I did not find that clip "Guarantee Hillarious" either.

    The thing that everyone is ignoring is that it's a carpark. With smooth asphalt or concrete. And all the likely 'leavings' from other vehicles. The clip didn't indicate squidliness to me...more likely a combination of factors. Poor bastard.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
