Re: Track Day Leathers - Melb

Or you could try Tiger Angel, they do custom leathers, not too sure on price but they are in Melbourne

http://www.tigerangel.com/

my limited experience is that one piece is better than two but most track days will accept two piece if they are zippered together securely.

Re: What's it worth?

Triumph 1050 Tiger, and have decided to part company with the ZZR, will advertise it here in the next couple of months first then off to Ebay if no one here is looking for a good and cheap 1100

Thanks guys, I am still deciding what to do, I love the ZZR, but after riding a new bike I am kinda torn between the two.

Re: Tyre Pressures ZZR1100

Thanks Guys, up front I have a Battlax BT54-F 120/70 ZR and on the rear I have a Michelin Pilot Road 180/55 ZR 17
These were on it when I bought it, and will probably change when they get down a bit.
