My new hobby

Hi again,
I started writing about my GTR1400 (known as The Dragon) on my blog back in May. Thanks to those that have visited! I enjoy writing about motorcycling and I hope some are still reading.

I've written a few posts since then (click on the 'Motorcycles' category on the right), and I thought I'd share my latest one called "My New Hobby".

Comments here or on the blog are welcome.

Stay well and keep the rubber side down,
Andrew

Do you still have the standard tyres on the bike by any chance if so try some Michelin Road Pilot 2 tyres before you change the bike they transform the handling and will cost you a lot less than a bike change.

Cheers for the suggestion - yes, still got the standard tyres. I would definitely try that if it weren't for the first-gear woes. Sounds more like a band-aid. Certain bikes require fresh tires more often than others...
That being said, I used to run the Michelin Road Pilots on my ZRX11 and I loved them. They really do help the handling, and are excellent in the rain.
