Well after 14 months, two bikes, five countries and some six thousand miles, my Pirelli GT Angel rear tyre has had it. So after being so utterly impressed with everything about it, I put another on straight back onto the back of the Blade.
I hear and read about lots of bikers wanting super sticky rubber, I mean Pirelli's own Rosso Corsa tyres are brilliant, but for the real world, and for me, their touring tyre is probably the best tyre I've ever used.

I'm not saying, in fact not even getting close to saying that you don't need the super sticky tyres on the road. Riding the bike has a lot to do with confidence and being happy with your tyres, will always give that.
For the type of riding I do, the GT Angel is perfect. Long life, lots of grip in both wet and dry and a smooth ride. Yes, probably the wrong tyre for the track, but maybe then only the really fast riders on some very quick machinery.
And as promised, in Ducati news, its back!

As you can see, there's still a way to go, but by all account the frame was really badly damaged and a fair amount of heat was required to get it straight again. Its getting there and will be well worth it when she's back to her shiny best.
