Thanks Russ. Interesting read.
How about lining folk up alongside their bikes in the next report so I know who I'm talking to in virtual time? Or would Netnanny throw a fit :-D

Will try and get some linked people bike shots. We did for the ride on 3rd June but except for Det and I everyone else was different.

The Sprint sports a 2nd hand Power and I now reckon it was cooked on a track day. Will look at BT014's as a replacement just for interest - readily available at the wreckers and some guys like 'em. Got to get the shock rebuilt too - got 32k km on her and hasn't had much rebound damping for quite a while. Makes for good exercise on a hard ride.

:-) How long do you get from second-hand tyres? Does it make the fitting fees worthwhile?
I've just email 3 US tyre resellers to see if I can get the Avons/Contis (could get others too) direct from the US. The come out about AUS$330 plus shipping so if the shipping is about AUS$50 and fitting is about $60-70 then there's a potential to save $100 a set. All depends on whether they will a) ship international and b) what the actual shipping costs are.
If it looks doable I might start an aussie tyre thread to see if there's any interest in getting a few sets....
