[ST] Loosing Grip - NOT posted on ya-hoo

[triumph1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

<<So the question is this: Does the front tire's loss of grip indicate an 
inherent problem with setup* or is it just the nature of the beast in 
slippery conditions?  Any thoughts?

The only times I've lost the front are:
a) some asshole had spilt diesel on my fav corner (always gun-shy there now!)
b) low speed falls (x 2) where I was a dickhead and grabbed the front anchors 
too hard going into a corner

I did find some 'sport-tourer' tyres to be a bit dodgy on the front, since 
using the 014 on the front it's been fine.  Also, found the 014 front/020 back 
combo induces a low speed weave - anyone else experience that?
