I stopped riding in late 86 but I used to help out still at Heff's and then at my mates bike shop through 87 to 90 and definitely remember seeing them and putting them on bikes; it was as though they had been around for ages...

Post by: mark 2 on June 07, 2009, 01:31 PM: I like the theory of the blue /silver logo as the age signifier, that's what I've got. At least it makes them a bit more usable and correct than some modern cop out. They were on a Judge which would have been an 85, so possibly they were a correct era tyre, never thought they were.
