I liked the Bridgestones a lot, and have used the 010 front / 020 rear combination to good effect.
Tried a Michy Pilot Road on the rear once... nup... didn't like it.
Wasn't great in the wet.
I found it would dirt track around sweeping corners (wet).
Although it was progressive and relatively controlable
Shagger will know one of the places it used to do it... turning south onto Tuggeranong Parkway from Cotter Road, there is a slight curve in the lane as it aligns with the parkway.
Lots of fun if that's what you want to do... but I prefer to keep both wheels travelling in closer to the same direction
Currently using Pirelli Diablo Corsas (or is that Corsai?).
No problems there except ... do they PONG!
Phew.... park the bike in the garage... come back in a few minutes later & pheeeewy!!!
Not talking about kneedown wannabe dead boy racer type riding
Just the usual stuff... fastish... naughtyish.
You know... regular riding
Have a good one....
Ok roll it out!

Hey Shags,
Well I'm definately out there
I get out to the Cotter about once a fortnight (Sundays around noon), and meet up with a few other riders.
Been doing that for about 20 years now... OMFG!
Only times I don't make it is if there is a clash with some other activity (like Shannons Wheels on 11 March).
I have to divide my time between being a single Dad , playing with the Rap & the Duc , fiddling with & tarting up a couple of old cars , burning gunpowder & just generally lazing around (very important that one).
I don't spend a lot of time out at the bike shops... too much temptation & too many wankers.
There are 2 other Raptor owners that I ride with here...
Maybe we should organise something...
Cop ya later
(on the bike again today... thunderstorms & hail...pffffttt)

If you aren't living on the edge you are taking up too much room.
