    Avon Storm Ultra 2 - Initial Impressions

    I love my Storms. The front is in perfect condition put the rear is at its wear bars with 4000 miles on them. And I am not hard on them normal riding with 42 pounds in them. How far are you riding into the wear bars to get 10000 miles out of the rear tire.

    FJR or HD Roadking

    I have owned about 40 plus bikes street and dirt. I have ridden with Harley's. I should say I rode around them! And I rode one once for a few miles. It felt like my Sears minibike I had when I was 7 years old in 1967. To each there own, but I cannot understand why people like to ride those...

    Avon Storms

    I am not riding hard on these it amazes me that the front looks almost brand new and the rear is at its wear bars. I keep them both at 41 pounds. Can the road temp be a major factor in the wear?

    Avon Storms

    After about 4200 miles on the rear tire my Avon Storm is hitting the wear bars, still exposing tread in the center. How many miles do you think I can ride on them safely if any. The front looks great. And I like to always replace both at the same time. I like the storms an plan on purchasing...

    Average age of FJR owners

    Its interesting to see such a wide range of ages. Makes me feel better to see younger riders than me in here. My kids think I ride an old fogeeee bike. But they think the cool bikes to ride consist of seats that are 6 inches square, made out of one inch foam rapt in vinyl. A fuel range of...

    Shock Time

    Looking into the near future for replacing stock shock. Probably Race Tech and do forks also. Just curious at what mileage did you have when your OEM shock started to fade. I am debating if I should even wait that long because of the handing improvements.

    2005 vs 2006

    Gen 1 more sport less touring. Gen 2 less sport more touring. And that is a fine line. I still do not see what the big deal of the air man't stuff was all about. And when its winter the heat is nice right! I know Gen 1's are considerably lighter. To me that's a major factor! Gen 1 more sport...
