Fun front tyre

    Dunlop 663 might be a good enduro front tyre (but I'm not
    convinced). It's got a very open pattern of tiny, high knobs.

    On asphalt it is quite absurd. Today I laughed out loud many
    times. Either things would happen after a bit of delay or the
    handlebars would suddenly be in an angle that would probably
    lead to a crash with normal tyres.
    I gave up and tried to steer by leaning the bike rather than
    handlebar input, more relaxing.

    And, by the way, if the inquisition was started today they
    would have the "Italian enduro" (the WR is made by Belgarda)
    instead of the "Spanish donkey".

    If you took the same approach in the chaps in this vid, you wouldn't
    worry about your front tyre:
    (some general pratting around, followed by a quad doing at least a 3
    and a half minute wheelie).
