Had my new rear tyre fitted today - Pirelli City Demon. Looks much better than my old Dunlop which lasted 8000kms so will be interesting to see how it goes.

Bought it at MS Motorcycle Repairs - corner of Cranebrook and Londonderry Rd. Michael supplied and fitted the tyre, adjusted the chain and greased the axle - for $170.

I found him very good to deal with. He's pretty busy there but I'm happy with his prices and service. :D
