Bad luck Chris. Went out myself this morning on brand new tyres and had one almighty slide as I'd taken it easy (progressive!) round the roundybout then flicked it left for the exit!
Some nice scuff marks on the outside edge of the tyre but it corrected itself before I had time to react, as usual.
you beat me to it.....this morning was to ill to ride so got a mate to take me somewhere.....after that he decided to go for a wee hoon as we were both bored.... *brand new,1 month old* CB1300.......both wearing waterproofs.......to much power in the rain on a long right hander....just exiting it....back end went......slide across the road....then onto some grass........mates false leg came off(lower part of his left leg)......was actually quite funny. luckily it was on the A303 which is a stupidly wide road and was about 9:15am so no one around. must of been some diesel there as well as it happened stupidly quickly.....
Sorry to hear you guys had such a bad start to 2005. Hopefully the year will just get better for you. at least you are still around to see it and there is time to get the bikes fixed before summer
