Avon used to do tyres like that ... OE fit to 3.5 SD1s
I believe the Savero’s are copies of an Avon tyre that is no longer available that used to be an Ifor Williams option (but wasn’t massively popular historically). They went out of production, but have been brought back to market and have now got a good following.

New bike 🤔
Isn't a BMW is it ..... a friend in uk had one fs800 twin (I think) they took it back cos they couldn't sort it 🤦
Might as well get a KTM like me ... at least you know your in for trouble 🙂, free dog and all that.
Mountain bike.. but I’ve cheated this time and gone for a Ebike! Rocky Mountain Altitude A70 for anyone that’s into them 👍🏼 A proper animal of a thing!

A lot of the latest e bikes are giving a lot of bother, i think manufacturers are fighting so hard to be the best and get market share the tech isn't getting developed well enough before its released. Shimano's latest motors are dropping like flies. Touch wood mines been good so far but is older motor

Yeah I’ve heard a lot about the latest shimano motors, mines been good but it’s RM’s own, just needed to recalibrate afew times which only takes seconds to run the sequence.
Only the motor cover which is poor, snapped lug , getting replaced under warranty ofc.

certainly looks like some fancy pushy that :unsure:o_O ...... I'd prefer a collection of cubes for tackling that sort of terrain ..... like 250 cubes ideally :giggle:

Living out in the Countryside too you have my sympathies, townies just won't get it. When you're on a narrow road with pieces of the edge broken off you've got to make a decision when someone comes around a corner (often in the dark or against low sun) and is flying towards you too quickly. You either stand your ground and let them hit the trailer or pull over a bit and risk damage to it. It's actually quicker and easier to do the latter rather than go through some month or year long insurance dispute along with the possibility of your premiums going up, loss of business due to trailer being off the road etc.

I did complain to the council and threatened to make a claim, they came out and filled in the worst holes.

People just don't slow down, that's the problem. This is the door mirror collection from outside our entrance:

This was caused by someone being shunted off the road and through the wall:

The cause? Low morning sun rise, wet and cold shiny road. Driver didn't slow down even though they couldn't see; head on collision.

All those pics were from last Winter only and represent only a quarter of the carnage I see just within a few miles of my house. The other 75% I don't have pics of as I was driving. Just last week I saw a biker sat in a field a few hundred yards away from the house, a few yards behind him jammed in the broken fence was his bike :rolleyes:
