I’ve only covered a paltry 768 miles this month, but there’s still plenty to talk about. I’ve appreciated the Honda on many occasions, moaned about it, and even had a couple of unexpected issues.
After having some new Dunlop Roadsmart IV tyres fitted, I nipped off for a quick lunch in Abergavenny. I didn’t need new rubber, and liked the Metzeler Roadtec 01’s all-round qualities. But after testing the impressive Roadsmarts at their launch in a relatively warm France last year on both road and track, I was keen to see what they’d be like in a UK winter.
It took a long time to determine that, though. It wasn’t the really cold conditions that delayed the determination, but that horrible mixture of road salt
