Yers, sorry it was a mad dash to get down there and recover it before the statewide lockdown.

Crikey Don, I still have nightmares from sliding sideways down a slope with absolutely no grip from the bar treads. It was probably a good thing really because if they had any sideways grip we may have dug in and rolled. Eventually we came to rest against a tree.

Terrible tyres on bitumen, suicidal in the wet and as you say square for the first couple of K's. Great traction going ahead but no sideways grip at all. Unsurprisingly the military gave them the flic and went to the old NATO pattern tread which were a much better, safer and more comfortable tyre but still with good 'agricultural' properties.
