Seriously pissed off today. Been waiting on some livestock to turn up which was sent via express 24 on monday. Still nothing today, phoned up the courier and they have no trace of the parcel getting to them which is funny seeing as it was scanned at their depo on Monday evening! Phoned up local depo and they said, yep Exeter have it at their end. So back to them again, Nope... never recieved it, wasn't collected from the sender. So how the hell do you have a tracking number and scanned it at the national hub and then again at the Exeter depo? Only a few hundred down the drain, because no parcels till Tuesday, and then IF it did arrive it would be DOA! Not like it was £20 or £50 worth ( still bad enough ) but its a few hundred. I would say its worth paying the extra locally, but no where has what i was after

Oh no!! Tyres again.....

Currently got the S20's fitted on my MT-09 and hate to say, i find them shit. They seem to just drop after certain lean angle, and in the current UK weather is frightning!! i can see them being great in the bone dry, with hot roads but for every day all year round ( or atleast the weather at the moment ) i don't trust them! Your OK over in Aus-land, the coldest you guys see is pretty much our summer! and if its wet, its too wet to ride - Ovcourse its a personal thing with tyres Don't forget the S20 is a hypersport tyre, designed for dry weather and trackdays -

tbh, Avon are the only tyres i've had confidence with. VP2 Supersport ( Now the 3D supersport ) These are soft and as you can see from the pic, they do square off easy if you do lots of dual carriageway / motorway riding. Storm 2 Ultra with 100 ish miles on them Now I'm not a big lad, but i prefer riding bikes that are big and heavy! Storm 2's stick like shit and wear better than any other tyres i've used. Two up riding on the XJR and giving it some, never once slipped, not even when i touched the bastard link pipe on a roundabout down south ( remember that Dave? rofl ) -
