    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

well it`s time for new tires for the `79 GS 1000E. I am looking at the avon road runner tires.Are these good? Has anyone had any experience with these tires? I am also looking at the dunlop 491 elite II also. I have a set of Cheng
Shen Marquis on her now. Will I notice a difference when going from the cheng shen tires to the Avons?

I'd go with the Dunlops, but I am seriously jaded about tires. I'll never buy anything that isn't Dunlop for the bike.
 
Depending on the Avon tire, it won't last long. The back on my 750 lasted only one season, about 3000KM.
 
The Cheng Shin HiMax tires are pretty good. The Marquis and Barracuda CS tires are awful.

Avon is very well regarded by the European crowd. If anyone would know about wet traction, it would be the Brits.
 
If your fitment is available you should seriously consider Bridgestones and Metzellers tires.

I have to second that. Great traction in all types of weather (never tried snow or ice though :lol: ) and long wearing makes for a good deal.
