How do you ride Phil? Are you  bit of  a hoon or a little reserved? Do you ride a lot in the rain? Do you want a 'sport' ot 'touring' tyre? (I have to ask, you've seen these old geezers with Z4's who dont go out in the rain and only go to the corner dairy for a packet of fags!) Are you a '1000 miler' or a 'cafe racer'? (I have a mate who owns a 'Duc' ST4 that's done 300km in 9 months! Silly prick talks about tyre wear.....he also complains his bike uses 17 litres / 100km of fuel!!!! The stuff probably evaporates between rides!)   🙄Hi Dick. I felt I have to respond to your post.  Some times I am a bit of a hoon, 👿 sometimes a little reserved) Like when I have my wife of 42years as pillion I don't so much mind hurting myself, but would hate to hurt Judeth. Yes I ride in the rain, but only when it's raining. I want a sport/touring tyre. I could be called an old geezer,but did over100,000km on my 907ie.not going to get fags.  I used be a bit of a 'cafe racer', when I was 15 to 20 years young. We used be called "Milk Bar Cowboys."  On a more serrous note I have had a look on the net, and very much like the sound of the 'ContiRoad Attack' tyres. Which I think will end up as my pick.  Thanks for all the input Phil
