call yourself an ex london courier carl, you needed my help to find essential rubber
Tell me about it. It was an f...ing nightmare to find and when you drive past it, one has to go down to the Blackwall tunnel, turn around go all the way back the other way and then back down :evil: Shithole part of London, I don't know how people can live there.

Here you go Lee http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 99#p238232 I was lucky and got a bargain I think. Just to buy the tyres on their own off ebay would be £220 and I ended up paying £237, 8O :biggrin

Ask if they will match the price :thumbup:

I dont think I'll need to as I'm opening a trade account with a tyre supplier. Jacking the building game in, had enough of it. New start in the new year hopefully, doing something I actually like !! Fingers crossed.

Started the winter strip down last night before heading out on the works piss up. Plan is to swap engine over to my spare one to see if it fixes the high freq vibration

So far only taken the Body work off and Nitron shock removed (stock one refitted to keep the wheel up) so I can get it serviced.

Put some miles on the new tyres today and gambled with my life with dosey cagers. Just had one of those rides back home where every driver was out to get me. Some people just don't have a clue how to drive and are so unaware of what is going on around them. :Ball Kick:

Did you make him clean it up while the meter still ran. :lol: Not good that as it means you need to take time off to go to a garage or something to get it cleaned up before picking up your next fare, so you loose out. Do you carry sick cleaning supplies in the boot.
