Put in a really long day and logged another 40 km... the mounting tab on my 20's fender broke so I spent quite a few of those km listening to an ungodly rattle but managed to repair it tonight and also fitted some new Marathons to the bike.

Now the bike is back to being it's solid and quiet running self and with the new tyres got a little smoother,faster, and safer.

Those scotchlite bands on the tyres have to be one of their best features as they glow both day and night and I can really notice how drivers respond more quickly because of the higher visibility they offer.
