I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Yes. I left it to my local parts guy and he picked them. I don't think they'll get much use as the black wheels are just spares for temporary use. Front has a pair of petal / wave discs that came with a job lot of parts, not what I'd normally buy.

I've used metalgear & rate their service & quality above a lot of others.

Purchased a pair of Angel GTs today...have only managed 60kms on them, but hoping I like them more than the Shinkos that were on the bike when I bought it.
There's always room in the world for a bit more tolerance and kindness.

You need to play with air pressures and find the one that suits your style Roy, then check them every time before you ride.
How much were they in UnZed ?

+1. Had them on the offroad wheelset on my old 1290 Adventure. Currently fitted to my 1400, 990 Adventure and the front of the wife's Ducati. They age and perform well and I'm yet to die as a result of using them.

Love the Angels myself.  :onya:

Tried a set of Michelin road 6, this time on advice of supplier.  :thumbs_down:

Okay if you ride slow but had a speed weave on them and I've never, had that with the Angels, so will definitely, going back to Angels.  :cheers:

for fear of turning this into a tyre thread, Michi PR4's on the beemer. They scallop and weave. So they're a no from me.

Bridgestones on the 1402 are working very well (I forget which specific ones, S32's from memory)

I've got PR6 on Snotbox. Great in winter but don't seem incredibly long lasting.

I might change next time it needs two. Because they're expensive and since I had a PR4GT delaminate in the Alps I don't want to give Michelin any of my money.

Fitted MetalGear front discs and sintered pads to the 14.  Got first class brakes now, nice feel. Well pleased.
Prompt delivery too  :onya:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎
