defendall or similar is your only hope

My 111r was completely shot blasted after the Bandit and i did a few road runs together, Paine's Exige (the one that worked) took out 2 windscreens in 2 months) also.

The cost of road runs, especially if you are following someone on track tyres (48's or 888's) :roll:

Yeah, Tut is my road run Nemesis but I suppose that's the price you pay for having to follow someone because you don't know where you're going :cry:
