    Tryhard ran them on his 690 on the High Country ride and was happy with them, so I’ll see how they go

    Heavy spring rain for northern NSW
    Robert Wood, Saturday October 1, 2011 – 15:57 EST
    After one of the driest winters in years, large swathes of northern NSW have received more than double their September average rainfall.

    Some of the heaviest rain was across the Northwest & Central Slopes and Plains as well as over much of the Upper Western. Heavy rain fell from Tibooburra to near Glen Innes and south to Port Macquarie and down to Sydney. Most of this area had 100-150% of its typical September rainfall.

    The Upper Western district had a great start to spring after one of their driest winters on record. Bourke more than doubled the monthly average and picked up its highest monthly total in 12 years while Lightning ridge received triple their average September rainfall.

    Further south, Dubbo had its best September rain in 13 years with most of that falling in just one day. The area of heaviest rain stretched east with Bathurst doubling its average of 46mm, with 101mm falling in the gauge. Finally, Gosford saw its highest September total in more than 2 decades with 179mm, nearly tripling its average of 68mm and comes in stark contrast to last years 38mm.

    The outlook for Spring is optimistic with a 55-60% chance of receiving at least average rainfall.

    Just checked the load rating of the rear 606 tyre = 325kg

    180kg plus riding gear (say 10kg) plus bike (say 170kg) = 360kg

    The back tyre is grossly overloaded when you are doing wheelies up the road Boulder :laugh: :laugh:

    No wonder we are only getting 3000km out of a rear :whistle:
