Andy & Malc's helpfull advice,
Useful hints and tips
Summer is still here ? and schools
are due back ! Still warmer weather and yes, it may still rain. Make sure your tyres are still in good condition after the summer holidays.
I have seen many tyres worn out after lots of holiday driving,
tyres damaged on poor car parks, and failures due to overloading.
Now we are back to work, and many cars
are on the school run again !

Motorcycle
riders (03/09/2010) Summer is still here, so they tell me.
Keep a good check on tyre pressures,
and especially the tread on the rear tyre, as your normal consumption will be 2 rears to 1 front. This means your rear needs a
regular check as often this far into the season it could be getting thin.
If you are "flatting out" your
rear, perhaps you need a slightly harder compound. However, if your "chicken strip" has vanished, maybe you should
step up to an even softer compound to push the bike even more !
The minimum tread depth for a motorbike is still 1mm, however do you want to push your luck ?

Food for thought
Testing has proven that tyres worn to the 1.6mm legal limit can increase
stopping distances by nearly a bus length !

(Premium German tyre manufacturers)
That's
the difference between stopping and having an accident !
THINK ABOUT IT, ACT NOW !
