XTreme Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks to Tony the Tools! I supervised.....and on one or two occasions I did hold some metal things. I had no idea what to do with them of course......but Tony got it all sorted! What do you reckon? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I've had to buy some Tourances, used them a lot on the AT so was a fan of them for a long time. Went over to Avon Storm3D on the Versys, they lasted forever and were good in the wet too and it was only £150 for a pair. Unfortunately although Avon have the size on their website, I couldn't find any places selling the 19 inch diameter front for the 1200. So the Tourances are now sitting in my spare room waiting for the okay to ride anywhere I want and then I shall do so on new tyres with a round profile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I know they're pretty oldschool these days but they do the job! And they're now a lot cheaper than these various exotic new adventure tyres they've brought out.

boboneleg Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 It looks ok if you like the 'scaffolding around my bike' look . I have to say that Tony the tools is not very colour co-ordinated to your bike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
