    yep, sh@t I know but I needed a new set of bars. They look sweet nice & low & the titanium finish looks good with the silver of the rest of the bike. Easy as to fit barely 20mins if your going slow

    Good tyres? Good in the wet? Would you recommend them?
    Got a Mitchlin Power Sport rear at the moment and it's scary in the wet. awesome in the dry though!

    I used to have metzlers ( crap ) then I got the diablos man what a change, thats when my riding really started improving. But yeh once you get a lil bit of warmth into them thre good in wet and absolutly the best in the dry. I did bin not long ago besides just stuffing it up my self all i can come down to is cold tyres. But i put it more down to rider error.

    But yeh the diablos have been mint

    Just to put the finishing touch on this...I got a vtr250 in the end. It's red like a fire engine.

    Lots to figure out but getting the hang of things slowly. Pootled around in traffic a bit today, a bit of motorway running and some twisty roads (which i'm crap at). Lots of waving too

    Almost got run over about 10 minutes into my first ride by a person turning right into the street where I had stopped at a stop sign; they were cutting the corner like no one was there, thankfully saw me at the last second otherwise I probably would have been walking. It won't be my last traffic story I'm sure but I hope they aren't too frequent!

    Congrats on getting the VTR250 mate!
    You'll get better with time and practice, and just watch out for the silly cagers!
