It never rains in Southern California !!!!

But it may suprise you that it can piss it down here in Southern France !!!!

Anyway as i only got a couple of thousand dry kms on the back Anakee Wild i thought it best to try it here

The climb up from that hollow was proper steep and slippy

Made up with ease

Well impressed

Verdict........................ It cost me €99 about twice the price of my favourites Mitas E10

Only done 2k kms or so on road and gravel but they haven't realy started to wear yet ......5* and after todays short play in the mud ,about 3kms i'm well impressed , great grip and they clear quick , road handling is superb

Would i get another ? as of now YES , but lets see how long they last

Heard mixed reviews on them.
Mostly all good
But on the bigger bikes BMW GS1200 have heard them only lasting 2500 miles.
The rider was impressed with their overall handling on and off road in both wet and dry conditions but with them lasting effectively 2weeks he wasn't going to get them again.
My brother in Johannesburg recently treated himself to a new BMW 1200 GS and off road tyres were discussed with sales, they recommended the Anakee wilds.
Possibly better suited to the hotter drier climes

Who you calling sad.
I'd take offence at that if I didn't know I had been out more than you this winter.

So I'll put your name down for the February run out on the plain then

Your trails look as wet as ours......sunshine

Here in Limo, our land is totally waterlogged after days of rain. Putting the horses out is like an episode of blue planet.

I can hear the hippos in the Okavango Delta from our back garden - they're loving it. (That will mean nothing to anyone but Chunky and maybe Phil... )
