    Low mileage AT

    Not mine, but just found this on Donedeal.ie - Honda Africa Twin - 2003 - 5k Mls

    Not sure I'd want to be crowing about running around on a 9 year old front tyre!

    No price given though.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    On the Safe House list. Well, I say safe............

    But with the state of the economy here I think that he'll go on wanting for some time.

    Sheesh, the ads disappeared already!

    Hmmm, wonder if it will now turn up for sale at Stafford Motorcycles?

    Not sure what the tyres were originally (no link to the ad from work computer!) but I am pretty sure that my tyres are not far off 9 or 10 years old, the cracks in the side walls give it a way as do the cracks around the tread!! A 1998 AT with 10k on the clock can't have seen many sets of tyres in its life!! The current tyres are Michelin T66. I am due to change the rims so haven't bothered changing them since I bought it last year! It is fair to say that its a bit cheeky in the wet and the odd twitch from the front and back wakes you up at times!! But I am looking forward to my new rims and tyres in the coming weeks, just got to sort out exactly what colours, powder coating etc etc, it's not easy!

    The trick is to spot them before he does and get in quick, otherwise you pay an extra grand if you have to buy from him
