I got a rear puncture 70 miles after putting Michelin pilot road 2 on so had it repaired, done a few thousand miles and its been ok but its always in the back of my mind that the tyre has been plugged.
For the first time in 29 years I have let the mot lapse and SORNed the bike, I was thinking of April to get all legal again but May might be more practicle Sad I think Dick has the right idea with a second bike for the more inclement weather thumbs
