Well not much of a columist but here goes...

Coming home from SPM on Thursday arvo, taking it very easy at first.
Must have been about 2 ish when I found myself lookin at the Nasho turn off. Mmm ive got time I said, and of I go to srub the M3s in b4 Sundays Ride. Eased into the corners to find that straight away felt alot better.
By the end at Waterfall tyres were warm and workin great. The real test would be Sunday

Sunday comes, same spot 7.30am guys are waiting. A quick tweek of the front fork adjustments due to the new tyres workin better and we are of.
Fark these tyres work great. Had the bike over with more fell in the front than ever b4. Very precise steering with loads of grip. A real confidence booster.The profile lets ya tip in very easly, with no signs of fade.The rear didnt spin up as much as the old one, with a compound that was glue. Felt like I could ride hard due to the extra grip the M3s gave me.
I would have to say " These tyres are farkin amazing"
Cant wait to chew them up out at the Creek.. thats the real test.

Go buy the Metz M3s....... Cant go wrong

Hey Ponti, I reckon you'll love the 002's

I rate them higher than the Pilot Power Race's (med-soft flavour!)

I had a set of 002's on my old 05 6.... soft F&R.... great grip levels, and wore a lot better than I expected also!

hmm now i just use the bridgie slicks

I thought I scientifically explained that phenomenon to you previously Gos????? I'll share it with the rest of you now............It was more a matter of the combined errrr...how do we put this delicately.....mass......errr bulk....no no .......errr volume....errrr no ummm what's a really good word for humungus? anyhoo, it was a combination of the lithe figure atop the paired down athletically challenged black pearl, forcing itself into the soft roadway and crushing it with such force as to squeeze all the oil based products to the surface as it sprung back to it's shape after said items above passed over it. Thus leaving thin black lines of oil on the road, for the front tyre of the Modern day Z9 and the other modern day Z1 to wiggle over
