Does that count me out?
It doesn't say, but in T&C found : The Promotion is governed by English law and the Participant(s) shall submit to the jurisdiction of the English Courts in the event of a dispute.
Try accessing the company see if you get a promo? Maybe "they" know I am looking from an UK ip address.

I'll be honest with you.....even if the promotion is valid in ROI....I wouldn't try and claim.
They sold them to me so cheap that it would probably get them in bother with their supplier.

It's not cash, it's a card. So you have to spend it on a bottle of Jack or beer :spl1f:
 
With today's tyres, there are no real bad ones. I have just fitted a set of Road 6 GTs on my RT, Michelin are giving £30 back once fitted. So my set cost me around

Just paid £330 for a set of Michelin Road 6 GTs and Michelin have an offer on so you get £30 refunded. Good deal
how are you getting on with the new tyres , had the 5's on my last couple of bikes , had no issues will probably go for the 6's for my next tyres thanks

Really like them, have had Metzler's but the last two sets have been Michelins.
 
I have the BT023 GT's on my VStrom and they've been great. Nice even wear, predictable turn in, good wet and dry weather grip, nice slow speed handling, and much cheaper than the Roadtech Se's I have on my RS. Fronts on those have had it now, with the backs still having bags of grip left after 5K miles. Tempted to go the 023 GT route when replacing the Metzlers.
 
So just back from 1300 mile Europe Jaunt. Noisy on motorway around 80mph. They track a road imperfections as much as the Z8's did. Other than that they hold the road well, corner nicely, have shit all grip on wet / damp /dew grass. As in nothing. On the road they are fine and I have no issues with them. No serious riding in rain yet to compare wet handling but I had enough confidence on them in the Ardennes to scrape pegs. I'm chuffed at £147 a pair...
 
Just had a good deal on 01SE's, a pair fitted and balanced for £340 ride in-ride out. Would have been cheaper if I'd taken loose wheels but that's still a good deal, so went with it.

where from? Chris Mullins in Gloucester was my go to tyre place
 
You got it. Chris does a good deal for registered blood bikers;)

Demon Tweeks are offering a pair for £286 down from £408 if anyone wants a pair to fit

Now got them nicely scrubbed in and back to rock solid, smooth handling. I'd forgotten how plush these made the ride from new! Half the running in mileage in rain but their wet weather grip is phenomenal.
