My last 020 was shagged after 3500 miles, my new one doesn't look that healthy either. Riding style has to make a big difference and I have to admit to using the bike's full acceleration potential wherever it's safe to do so.

It's difficult to understand, but it looks like the Avons finnished last in both dry and wet tests Can't wait to hear Rictus view on that

I'm a restricted rider also and I'm still looking for something a little bit more stable than my standard Dunlops.

To be honest, I hadn't thought of that.

Now that's not nice. The fact that it's currently true is rather sad.
