Before I Left college I got chance to change rear tyre to one of those trelleborg army tyres on the back just in case and kept the trail wing on the front. over the holidays not a peep of snow though ohh bugger but a knobblie on and no snow, this week has turned snowy and Icy and bugger me that tyre is great and I mean great grips and hips on ice and snow even took a pillion on and still going over black ice, sheet ice and snow and was planted. they are skittish on Tarmac but really recommend them.

Snow is forecast here in Devon over the next few days but, unfortunately, I am in the middle of fettling my 325 so will probably miss out on the fun no

Having taken a nasty tumble on ice a few years ago, I am now a bit of a wuss when it comes to riding after a frosty night!
