I guess the bridgey riders must be some kind of cult!!![]()
Not a cult thing at all. I went for the BS purely on performance posts on what other riders have posted NOT price so much. I like the BS and find the shape of it is better suited for corners because there is more tyre on the road. The guy at the tyre shop today asked me why I was not replacing the Metz with another Metz, I told him that I was not really happy with the performance of the Metz front or rear, he then tells me that the Metz tyre we get on the NEW bike are already up to two years old
My friend of friend of a friend says the same thing re tyres being old. Factory buys in bulk and sometimes store them to ensure smooth production run on top of manufacturers doing the same then a month or 2 to ship and who knows how long on a showroom floor - especially in a small market like Oz. Apparently a similar story with batteries......so there you go, straight from the broken telegraph.......
