    I'm Riding Metzeler Sportek Klassic, standard size, saw good review for the Conti-Roadattack 3, but still but very undecided, i was thinking changing the measurement to a 110F and 140/150R(not sure it fits standard rims)

    Welcome from sunny California. BTW, my family came to the States (Hawaii) in the late 1800's from Madeira.

    Welcome to this terrific forum and community, Thruxton_Mviveiros! As Joe suggested, please post a photo or two of your Thruxton. It sounds lovely from your description. :)
