Hi all,
Ive just fitted a pair of Avon Road Rider Tyres to my 750 Interstate.
WOWWWWW, what a difference over the TT100's ive been using since the bike was new in 73 (not the same pair I hasten to add).
Ive fitted 100/90 x 19" Front & Rear. No more wobbling over white lines & road ruts, smoother around bends & a lot more stable at hi & low speed. I did not notice any slipping round bends with the Road Riders as ive experienced with the TT100's but they may have gone a bit hard with age anyway.
I had a great 185 mile ride out with the lads from Yorkshire branch of NOC to the coast on sunday & it handled like a dream.
70-80mph round bends & no struggling to get it to lean into the bend. It just felt so much more stable, almost like a modern bike.
Sorry to go on so much but I realy wish I had used something like these years ago. I paid £144 including tax for fitting to loose wheels, balancing, new tubes & Rim tapes. I got them from Woosters Motorcycles in Leeds but Wildes in Leeds do them mail order for £133 excluding fitting & balancing & their web site is easier to follow.
I'm looking forward to riding to Hunstanton (UK) for Norton Day this year in August.
Cheers all
