All,

The good news is that not one to be beaten by AVON and their production cockup i decided to search the WWW to see if i could locate the old faithful Avon Distanzia rear tyre, that being the 160/60/69H/17 that we all love.

And guess what, i have afound a company in Germany that, if their on-line stock is to be believed, they actually have them in stock. And the proof in the pudding, one has just been delivered a few minutes ago by the local courier company.

The link is pasted below, but the web address for future reference, should we ever need to go through this again is also as follows.

Actual webpage link that shows the Distanzias in stock:-

http://www.mynetmoto.com/motorradreifen.cfm/ActiveTab/shopping/ActiveLink/1/Search/1/breite/160/hoehe/60/felge/17/hersteller/AVON/StartRow/0/motorradreifen.html

And the webpage for the company i used is :-

www.myNETmoto.com

And, i hear you ask, what was the price?? Well, bear in mind the price is in Euros', and you pay for shipping the total price was 138Euros, which equates to approx �100 give or take a few quid. Slightly expensive, but given that they are like rocking horse muck and i needed one then this was the route for me.

Capt - perhaps CCC can have a chat with them and if they do have plenty in stock then perhaps we can ship a few over for the guys in desperate needs.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

WB

Well done, amazing thing the www, if we only had particle transfer via it we would save on the postage

If I remember right you are going on a trip, Have fun

Colin

All,

I have just received an email back from the Mynet auto. team and they do have more in stock. I have also asked for an exact amount to see if i can ship a few over, thus saving on the shipment charge. I'll keep you posted as to how i get on.

Cheers

WB

Although as an R rider I have recently had a new pair of Distanzias fitted to my bike you are to be congratulated on the time you have spent finding tyres to fit the X and potentially arranging for importation.

Respect.

All,

The company i used have 3 left in stock. After that they do NOT know when they will receive anymore.

I am OK to order the 3 in at a cost of 140E (�110) each tyre, plus a UK postage/delivery cost of approx �7.50 so an overall cost of �117.50.

Please let me know ASAP as i will need to order them by 1PM UK time in order for them to arrive by Monday afternoon/Tues morning UK time.

I can buy them and get whoever wnats them to pay me back via PayPal.

Hurry up chaps, this may be our last chance until at least mid/end of August in the UK.

WB

Any takers, as i need to order today before 4PM UK time.

Failing that for those who may see this thread over the w/e, drop me a PM and i can always see if they are still available Monday morning.

Cheers

WB

nice one WB if i was not getting special deals for service,parts,tyres i would have come aboard but if i buy elsewhere i loose my discount which is alot over a year done 23000 miles this year which adds up to alot of tyres.Well done
