    I've just had the 180 fitted as there was a 190 on there before.
    Handling is much better but that could just be the feeling of new tyres.

    Slide comes before a bald. Tell anyone who asks, they're off "your friends"
    bike.

    Thing is I'm really lazy and doubt I'll swap the wheels around again;
    the spare pair are on the 'parts bike'.

    I'm tempted to take them off and bung them in the back of the car but
    don't know if I'll get around to it.

    Bear? He'z just ziz guy, you know?
    My E1 came with a 190 fitted from new. Changing it to a 180 improved
    the handling but I certainly wouldn't say the factory fit 190 fucked up
    the handling, just made it slower steering.

    Nuffin' wrong with slower steering. A nice easy progressive roll from
    vertical to a comfy lean all without any undue effort or the need to
    throw the bike at the ground.

    And you can save a few kilos by not carrying a damper.
