Gonna put Angels back on? I'm loving mine - they were great today on some pretty wet and slippery roads.

First vid is up (although still doing the Audioswap thing).

You gonna give the Metzler M5's a go at some point?

M5's? Haven't heard of them but maybe the Z8's although they seem a bit pricey at the mo...

Hopefully still got 9-10k in the Angels yet, so will probably need to change them before the Southern Cross.

Do a wee search on them, quite interesting carcass construction. M5 Interact.

Spotted them in the latest Ozzie bike mag a week or so ago and they certainly sound tempting. List price over there was a little cheaper than PR2s IIRC, (but who knows what that means over here), sound like a good all round tyre but it all depends how long they last really.

You seen any pricing on them here Sarge? Who's the Metzeler dealer in Palmy?

No I haven't found out what they're going for here as yet, as for dealer, who ever you get the best quote from I guess...

[Owl]

Who's the Metzeler dealer in Palmy?

Like Sarge said...........anywhere really.

New Plymouth Motorcycle Center had a good range of Metzeler tyres and their prices were pretty sharp.

Also Drury Performance Center have a good rep on pricing/service.
