    The Mitas E-07 tire thread merge-fest

    after 10,000km there was heaps of tread left on the front tire, but I got a flat on it so I turfed it and put the road tires back on for that nice smooth ride, my wrists are too worn out for all those vibes .

    HOW are YOU attaching your action CAMERA to your modular HELMET???

    this is the best mount setup I've used yet. very happy with it after moving from a contour2+ to a gropro 7 puts you in the drivers seat and you can barely see its there. I stayed away from the gopro because of the bulky mount and Camera, but with the new gopro 7 the video is just too smooth to...

    The Mitas E-07 tire thread merge-fest

    I did a grueling 10,000km trip last year, tires went very well on road gravel mud and sand, would say they had about 2000kn left in them, but I'm hard on tires (TC and abs always off) I replace them because the were causing a few vibrations though the handle bars, next time I do a trip like that...

    Changes to Mitas E07 2018

    they don't look like they will get 10,000 plus km out of them :( they might have made a mistake because the old tread pattern was a great all rounder

    What is this for?

    My bike is a 2010 all the cases were put on at time of purchase so its not a new thing if it was a tie down I would have thought it would be on both sides :-\ and its just the light which makes the pumpkin look silver in that photo

    Big Blue conquers big Red "Simpson Desert"

    Snakebitten, I have been riding this bike now for about 4 years and it never ceases to amaze me how capable it is off road, every time I ask this bike to excel, that’s just what happens. Before I tackled this sand dune I was baptised with about 150 km of deep loamy sand, the bike was...
