A while ago I purchased front & rear White walled Avon Cobra Chrome for my 2002 Harley Sportster XL1200c. One afternoon there was a slight drizzle making the roads damp. I was doing between 25-30 mph. Going round a gentle bend on a main road. The back wheel slipped out sideways. I dropped the bike, ending up facing in the opposite direction to which I was going. The bike suffered an amount of damage. (Bent Handle bars. Broken front Brake lever & cracked fluid reservoir. Smashed both mirrors. Bent the front mudguard & forward Exhaust downpipe, cracked Headlight glass)
Ever since this scrape I am frightened to ride the bike as it should be. I'm no way a novice rider. I've ridden Motorcycles since the age of 13. I am now 62yrs. I just don't trust these tyres
