More thoughts on the AVON tires

I've had both the Azaro and the Storms now, the AZaro's were good for over 8K, I still had tread left but the back was squared off and the front was scalloped, I switched to the storms and found that they handle great, but appear to be wearing faster than the Azaro's, I'm only a little over 4K now a...

See that you've already pick a set but...

I went with the shure SE210, they were a bit more than what you did, but much cheaper than the ER-6i's were when I went looking. They came with four different ear plugs and the sound has been great. They aren't quite as good as high quality earplugs but they definately help reduce the wind noise. I ...

Thanks

I realize that this thread is a little old now, but I didn't get a chance to pick-up and install the O rings until this week. I'm also left handed so perhaps that had something to do with the easy installation, (being in my right mind and all... :roll: Anyhow I just wanted to add my Thanks, the quic...

Just my 2 cents...

I've been doing pretty much the same sort of thing that you're looking at doing in June out here on the West Coast. I've been riding since August, and so far amassed about 6K in the saddle.

Watch out for the service loaners as well.

Time being the issue this spring, I broke down and had the alternator belt and valves done at the dealer, of course I took the loaner 1200R for the day.

Well, I've been very anal about fuel since picking up my 02 R1150R, (Black), in August. I like having the warning light but figured I'd better start tracking my mileage to see where I'd start running into trouble. I've keep a spreadsheet with each fill-up and after a little over 2K I've determined t...
