    Avon Storms...

    My bike appears destined to not wear Storms.

    I ordered a rear on 13/11 and had it booked for fitting today......Yeah Right!!

    It seems the tyre was sent to Dunedin (arriving on 15/11) and is the last one in stock. They are still trying to find it and I have an MDA ride (1300-1500Kms) departing 1000 Friday.

    I don't know if I deserved this after my ‘Avon Bastards’ Blog of 30/6 ( http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/bl...9500&entry=210 ) or whether I am now justified in what I said at the time........but I feel like saying it again.........Avon Bastards!!

    I would like to try some of these Stormy things I've been hearing about, but now I feel I owe some loyalty to Mr Michelin who is baling me out with his PR2's....again!!

    Mate... what a nightmare. I have to say that it is well worth the wait for these. I am absolutely delighted with mine - both wear and grip wise. Am off to thye Chatto creek Ride tomorrow, so will let you know how the wear aspect goes!

    I think the Avon agent here in NZ needs a serious raaak up!

    Another oopsie moment today when a PR turned up instead of a PR2, but after considering how a bit of heat was involved in the demise of the sides of the PR2, I decided to go with it......but I'm not sure what it's going to be like to ride with my fingers crossed.

    Oh well.....it shouldn't matter too much when I ride like a nana anyway!
