So.. How do I run in a new front tyre in the wet?...

Running in tyres? WTF? You put the tyres on one fuckin bike and make them go round and round.

Well good gawd. I thought I'd moved to a country where men were men and all that. All the guff I hear in the pub about how "hard" kiwi's are and then I read tripe like this.........softcocks :-)

I think I'm destined to ride new tyres in rain. When I put Avon's on my ZXR it rained.

Then later I picked up my brand spanking new 600 in the middle of a storm. Was pretty funny. The guys are Cyclespot were like "you've got insurance right?"

Big S's down the motorway should scrub in enough of the tyre to begin with. Just don't use heaps of lean at first then build up lean slowly and you'll be sweet.

You really need a few proper heat cycles to get the gunk to come out of the surface so save the hero riding till after you get a dry day out.
