Hi all,
Got to work on Thursday morning this week and noticed I had a new addition to the bike, something shiney sticking out of the rear tyre. As the tyre appeared to be holding pressure, I left well alone.
The ride home was a slow careful affair, so much so I thought the police driving in front of me were going to pull me as I was riding so slow, which did look suspicious.
Any way, got home and armed with long nose pliers pulled out of the rear tyre a 3 inch long, 6mm diameter drill shank.
My question now is what tyres do I go for, the more research I do, the more confusing the situation gets.
My bike is a 65 plate K1300R on 2700 miles, I do not travel any great distances and I'm on the heavy side, lets just say I always ride 2 up.
I have read how much people like the Pirelli Angel GT (II) on their S models, do I need "A" spec for an R?
I did call a local tyre place Thursday evening and they recommended Metzeler Sportec M7 RR tyres.
Many thanks for any input,
Gramps.
