NC Mountains Trip

[Nortoon_imp]

Avon Roadriders. Stock sizes. I think use2b had them on his beautiful machine. He mentioned something about making the bike seem taller but I didn't notice that. It felt like adding an old friend to my bike. I am very used to them because that is all I will put on my Triumph. Handled spectacularly on the twisty bits.

The CB chewed up the gravel but it was no fun. I asked her to do more than I would normally but I wasn't going to back track as I was burning daylight and heat. If there was a problem out there I would be on my own in 25 degree temps for the evening. Not fun, but I got her through (or did she get me through?).

I forgot to mention the K&H seat I got from a forum member is a VAST!!!! improvement over the stocker. Only had to get off for fill ups.

Great trip. Already planning the next.

It appears that Avon Roadriders are the only properly sized replacements available for my 2017 CB1100 EX. I see use2b has spoke wheels on his bike and you mentioned a Triumph. The Avon Roadriders can be used with tubes?

Good to hear they handle well, except in gravel. But a heavy road bike with skinny tires is not a very good moto-crosser. I learned that [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11512&highlight=Miss+Piggy+Goes+Moto-crossing]riding on sandy roads.
