Take a look at the Bridgestone pictured.

36hrs prior, the wear indicators denoting safe water dispersion and roadworthiness were seemingly adequate for a day ride.

The Coast to Coast Twistybutt is not a normal day ride though.  Snow melt, numerous weather zones possibly with rain, punctures… Then there’s the ride home…

Best take a good look at brake pads, fluid, oil, coolant, chain and battery while we are at it. Do you have a puncture repair kit? A lot of the roads on the C2C are no place for bike troubles. Best be prepared and give your steed a good check over and maintenance where necessary so you can really enjoy the ride.

So, how’s your rubber looking?
