Well I've had buddies (XRV and non-XRV-Riders) who believed they had gotten
a new bike when switching away form T66 to E4. And the disappointment I got
when Test riding a new Triumph Tiger with T66 was certainly due to the T66 
also.

>So another question has any had experience of the Avon Gripsters?

I'v once had the older Gripsters, the non-Radial ones. AV 23/24, I think 
that was. It was a quite nice tire, felt very neutral and harmonic, but I 
think it was undersized for the twin's weight. Even back in my fort twin
days, 
when I was a much more calm rider, it melted away in less than 5 Mm.

I then once had a pair of the newer AV 33/34 (?) aka "Gripster H". Very much 
the same can be said about that one, execpet that it lasted 8Mm. Went back 
to Enduro4 afterwards and am still sticking with them.
