    Be wary of south side of road with no sun and greasy surface.Might head over track and give new tyres a work out later in morning.

    Route 52 rocks but use care!
    Good advice, will be dodgy in places for sure, not to mention tractors come out of paddock leaving mud all over the road etc... How annoyed were were you when I said I did'nt want to do Porangahau /Wimbledon on the way back last weekend? Must be hard to find a travelling buddy that'll go the distances you're used to..

    Take it easy out there mate, that road can throw up all sorts.

    Was thinking of metz m6,or diablo but stuck with pr2 again,$588 set,made choice easy.And have done probably 15-17500km.Were on the bike at 10500km and changed at 25500km.
    Had a discussion in Hastings shop about Shinko 005,looked good price($485 set)but figured they might last 13-15000km and extra cost of pr2 gives extra km so worth the extra $100.The conversation with the guy was 2 guys headed to Burt Munroe last year,riders on TL and SV1000,the TL and SV had new tyres on same day,the TL had totally stuffed tyres after return back on Pirellis,the SV had about 2/3rd tread left on return,take a little while to warm up.

    Oh no what happened, were you on your bike?

    I had similar situation (same day), but I was in my car, and only got a little bite/scratch on wrist. Hope you are healing ok.
    Now I really am a Bonnie girl
