What a difference

I've had new tyres fitted to the bike. Same sort as before, Pirelli Diablo's. Oh, what a difference. Now the bike handles properly (was a bag of nails with the old, worn tyres), where it would fall in to a bend and needed countersteer to hold the line, a gentle nudge now turns it and it holds a neutral line with no effort.

Incidentally, the puncture repair I had done in France appears to have been illegal. It was 6mm plug, maximum is a 3mm plug on motorbikes. To think, I've done two track-days with that in! Ooops
