Thanks for posting. I didn't realise that tyres had antennas to stop my bike exploding at the petrol pump. Learn something new everyday.

Was out today with a guy on a Honda Blackbird, the recommended tyre pressures are 42 psi F&R. He suggested that he should have reduced the tyre pressures to improve the contact patch/grip in damp/greasy road conditions. I suggested he views the attached video where it clearly says run the tyres at the manufacturer recommendations in all conditions.
