Avon's are good tires. I've been using them on my bird. Yeah we don't want to hang around a gas station waiting for people to plug those cheap car tires either. I'm getting my 24,000 mile service done. The big one where they change all the fluids and adjust the valves etc. The bikes been in the shop for a week. I don't think they know what they are doing. I called two other Triumph dealers and they said it was a 6 hour job.
