Smile I like them!

sorry it took me a while...been swamped at work. I only have a couple hundred miles on the new Avon Cobras, but so far...wow! l want to keep leaning into corners where I previously felt like the bike was about to slide out from under me. The bike felt so different for the first few miles, I was thinking it was going to take me a while to get used to them.....Then came the twisty roads.....I felt right at home immediately. I can't imagine I'll get the miles that I see most of the guys on here want per set of tires, but I don't really care. I'll buy a new set every year if they continue to handle like this. Not that I am dying to get caught in the rain....but I want to try them out on some wet roads now.

They make a wide range of tyres! Been riding on them since the 60s and have used them on my Harleys since the 70s. Cobra front and Storm rear on my Glide at present.
