  4. Uneven Front Tyre (Tire) Wear

    Long time no see. My R3 has done about 12000 miles and recently I inspected the front tyre, to find that the tread wear is noticeably greater on one side. (Don't remember which) What could cause this? Riding style? Incorrect bike assembly? The tyre itself? Any ideas guys? Thanks

  9. Fog Lights.

    When riding in fog, or any bad weather which causes low visibility, its not being able to see ahead which worries me, but the ability to be seen by the potential a$$holes behind me. :eek: . So..... has anyone seen / bought / made / stolen a high intensity rear facing fog light that looks good on...
