Hi BrucieHow about sending the Newsletter out in a plastic bag shouldn't cost much to do this and we would all get a good copy wet or dry when it gets poted in the letterbox.

Hi BrucieIf the printing of the pages is the same as the Newletter then that would be more important than the cover to protect as when wet ink runs badly as I found out in the last newsletter posted to me on a wet day.

Hi Thought I would do an update on my Hiedenau rear tyreI have just done a 3000km trip from Whangarei to Cape Reinga,90 mile beach, down to New Plymouth,Whangamomona,and Ohuru on mostly gravel roads traveling at good speeds in all weather conditions and what a great trip even in the rain.back to Whangarei via Rotorua,Tauranga and home on sealed roads,  I had no problems with the tyre slipping or gripping as I was riding knowing it could.I now have 6000km and the tyre is more than 1/2 worn. I think the tyre grips better with it being more worn,not sure If I will put another of these on looking more at the Anakee 3 has anyone tried these in gravel.

Put on a new set of K60's about three weeks ago... big questions on performance and longevity. Cost: $690 fitted - new pattern rear.So, I've now done 1000k's of road work only, Welly to Palmy Nth, and found these are working well with very minimal wear so far. Wearing them in has been interesting. Had them fitted at Maidstone Yamaha (Upper Hutt); they may still have the firstset they got in for me if anyone in Welly is interested (21inch front, 17inch rear I think??). Anyway headed out in the heavy rain and lightening with new rubber was probably not the best move, they worked well clearing the water, and felt stable the whole time.Since then, I've been down and back a few times riding in light rain, fine day-time and night-time. With the only concerns being in the light rain... (mental note: don't take 65k corners at 100k's).Once I finish up on this course in palmy and actually get to spend time in our place in Welly, will be looking for gravel etc to see out they go.By the way, there is some road noise and extra vibration. However cancel the vibration out with a bit more wrist 😀 and I've now started wearing ear plugs so don't hear the road noise (Ear plugs were to save what hearing I have left, not  because of the tires)Will put some more in info on as I go. Fingers crossed they go the 20k they claim.Dave W... now back in Wellington.

thanks guys I too have ridden bikes on all types of tyres and road conditions but the heidenau is not as good as others rave on them and koko your right about riding too the conditions now I know that this tyre is not one I can rely on I'm sure I will be slowing down .Really I was hoping to here from others who have tried these tyres and to see what others are using on the F800gs

in reply to: Heidenau K60’s #17668

HII fitted a rear K60 to my F800gs and have put on 3000kms of all types of riding, I have found these to be reasonable in gravel, good on dry seal and not so good in the wet, I was on h/wy16 on monday  heading hme to whangarei in shit wet weather  and the bike decided to do a massive slide for no reason  on me quite scary but survived so do be careful as theres no warnings. I am now thinking of changing it to a more of a road tyre but not sure what .Dose any one have any sugestions.darryl

Yea I agree Malcomseems silly advertising the National Rally and not the Agm as members will need to book time off for the AGM also.

Don't forget the AGM will also be at the National rally perhaps time for a name change
