Just had my first ride in the rain with my 'bought at the bash' Avons, and I have to admit, they sometimes scared the shit out of me. Back wheel spinning at 65 mph or everytime your heavy on the gas.
This was during a club rideout, and some members had a nickname for them: Savons, meaning 'soap' in French, I can only agree with them.
I'm not too bothered though, because I'm not really a wet weather rider and they are pretty good on dry roads.
Nuff said.. %$fan

The truth is out there.. the truth is a different animal in the minds of each person !
Post a poll and its boring.. leave it running and folk bother to add rather than tick a box and forget it :p !

Blu,

Hey Pete, why not just start a new thread and put your own poll on it? :dunno:

I reckon from reading this that there'll be a 50-50 split, what do you think? g0551p

Democracy has got feck all to do with it~~

Mass hysteria may have though

A small number of people have different probs in the wet - suddenly is a mjor disaster?

Yeah right!

Throttle control - road conditions - suspension setup - luggage attached - tyre pressures - rider ability.......................

All add to the equation of grip

Ride the Via Gellia route with me sometime one Sunday morning [Via Gellia route is reknowned Derbyshire Mountain route with streams running across the road at times - iffy drainage and trees hanging over the road for 70% of it]

Then when we've ridden it 6 times back to back - guarantee every time will have different places where the boots let go - even the all Mighty 020's

Any takers?

I'll even buy the fecking breakfasts afterwards

Decocracy?

Yeah right!
