Michelin Road Classic on 2 bikes now. Road Riders are discontinued and Bridgestone equivalents cost a lot more!
All donations to the rest home for old Camels, Leicestershire.

Damn it - I have roadriders on the Morini and Kawasaki KH, been using them for years on various bikes.

Guess I will have to look for something different :(
Current bikes: Kawasaki KH400, Royal Enfield Himalayan, 1200 Triumph Speedmaster, Morini Strada 3 1/2

There is half a story that they may reappear. I have BT 46 and Avons on my road bikes and have not noticed anything untoward.
Most recently I ordered a tyre from a supplier. Paid to get it fitted however.

Used to run Shinko 712s on my 350 K2 with excellent results. Now have them on my Guzzi V65SP.
