Default Tired

Yes well its tire time for the old C50. Does it ever end this price we pay to enjoy what we do? Just lashed out and got some Iso grips and a chrome brakes light cover and then realized I shoulda been spending it on a new rear tire. I've done nearly 9000miles on the stock ones which seems pretty normal. Anyway while i get it changed should I get anything else done to it back there. Just had a major service so the oil is ok but need I do anything to the drive? I'm gonna go with Metzler. Do they make that much of a difference..will they last longer??it will be interesting to find out, and some words of experience will be muchly appreciated. My brother arrives soon and he has be riding for nearly 30 years and I'm just thinking I'll need all the help I can get! I won't even attempt to keep up with him.
