Riding Weather

I actually got about 60 miles of riding yesterday morning while the sun was shining. The afternoon clouds and rain chased me back to the garage however. Good riding weather is getting close isn't it?

Avon Venom Tires?

I need to replace the OEM Dunlops on my Royal Star Venture and am interested in the Avon Venom Bias tires. Does anyone have any riding experience with these feet? I'd also appreciate some general info regarding the Avon brand as well.

Thanks,

Scott
