Picked up the bike today !!
Was throwing it down on the way over so was a bit dubious about riding it on brand spanking fresh rubber.
Have to say, the rain stopped and the sun came out so decided to ride it a little to see how it feels having had the ohlins 20mm cartridge kit fitted in the forks and the new tyres as opposed to the Corsa's I have been using for a long time.
Firstly it was so good to be back on 2 wheels, given the fact the roads were wet I took it easy but could feel a difference, the steering was very neutral from the off and the feedback through the forks was nice although they need a little fine tuning as I found the setting a little firm at the moment but I could feel the gyroscopic effect of the front wheels in the turns for a change, something I have not noticed before but was nice to be able to feel what it was doing.
Once I found a bit of dry road I opened her up and the bike felt sweet, smooth and just 'nice' the tyre's though new felt stable and confidence inspiring even through the standing water but will leave it until the roads are nice, clean & dry to clear the chicken strips off

to really see what these tyres can do
Well after eating at the Quatt Cafe I made my way home and enjoyed every second of it.
Can't wait for the warm dry weather and the wheeltrax tour in June.
