    Hi all, discovered this forum when I was looking for advice/reviews regarding new tyres for my 2016 Street Twin and decided to take the plunge and sign up

    Welcome to the family. do drop us a picture of the steed to ogle whilst nursey medicates us. I myself use the Avon's and I think quite a few Bod's on here do the same. I found they completely changes the feel of the Bonnie and made it more rideable in twisties and corners. But that's just me.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.

    Cheers Joe, I ended up ordering a pair of Avon Spirit ST’s which should be arriving in the next few days, looking forward to getting them fitted and seeing what they’re like. I’ll get some pics sorted shortly

    Personally I think you made a good choice. Plus we have the knowledge that all the Bonnie rider throughout the years used to swap over to Avon's.

    Eyup Swampsnake. @Sprinter beat me to it. One of my favourite bands, ever since I saw them support Slade in 1973. Nice bike mate.
