I believe we have a winner! My '93 will probably like these, it really likes the regular STorm. Good news indeed

Wonder if they will still cause the headshake on the 1100. (have I said "It's the Storms" lately)

I'll try'em. I have a set of the current STorms setting in the wings (no, not Gold Wing, you dummy, edge of the garage, don'cha ya know, ya hoser!)

Anyhoo, fresh set of STorms awaiting for STick and a fresh set of Bridgestones waiting for ReSTored. I've eaten 5 rear tars this season and the sixth is almost ready for the dump.

I don't ride enough. Every time I go to replace a tyre it is either unavailable, and the time after a new model is out.
