Re:
...I learnt the hard way on-road....sharp corner, railing it round fast, slimy leaf coverage, BANG. Down and bruised, hip black and blue but not busted, thank goodness. That was a few years’ ago. Now, I make sure that the RetroGrom’s school C16R has weeny Gatonskins on in the Summer and fat DoubleFighters in the Autumn and Winter. Off-road you live with the slimy rootiness and sludgy grunge - and any errors are your own. But on the road, it’s tiptoe tiptoe on the right tyres......
