Thank you to Manny at Burnaby Kawasaki for fitting a pair of Z6's to the BMW, all for a fantastic price. These were the one brand of tyres I had stayed away from after using a cross ply pair in the 80's. I have used them day in, day out for the past 14 days and they have been great in the rain,...

I get the impression that many of us on here love touring on our sportbikes, and so perhaps it's time to have a sticky of links and resources. I know there are no shortage of websites dedicated to this, but for those riders newer to the scene and the sport, they may not be fully aware of these...
