Another similar tip is if you are out riding and are cold and do not have a warm layer in your panniers 8-) or under your seat, stop in a garage and put those free papers/mags up your jacket they will stop some of the wind chill and reatain heat.
3. The legal minimum tread depth for a motorcycle tyre is 1mm. However, the less tread there is , the less efficient the tyre is at dispersing water (the treads primary function). Some tyres are designed with less of a tread pattern, and as such, are better suited to dry roads/track use. Those with more are designed for road use. Therefore, when chosing a tyre, don't get hung up with what make is better than the other. They're all good these days, the difference is down to how you use it. But the main thing is, most average riders won't know the difference from one tyre to the next. And when it comes to certain makes, even V. Rossi would be hard pushed.
Incidentally, I've posted this one because so many people ask what tyres they should stick on their bike. Just for the record, I've had repaired tyres, mis-matched tyres, super-sticky expensive tyres, and standard cheap sports bike tyres. On the road I ride the same on all of them, without any problems. Any problems I have had would be down to poor road surface, cool temperatures, or wrong tyre pressures. Make sure they're in good overall condition, and the pressures are correct. JOB DONE!
