I applaud the tyre fail on age.

I bought a 1994 Yamaha, little one XJ600. I'm the second owner and it had a bit over 14K. The tyres were full of tread but old and despite advice from fellow motorcyclist pals I did a return trip to Scotland, about 360 miles. I started riding motorcycles when I was 19 and thought, "it'll be right".

It was very twitchy. At one point I thought I had a puncture as it was squirming around on the bad eastbound stretch of the A66. I pulled off but realised this was just the tyres. The new Avons made such a terrific difference.

It’s in the rules as an advise so the tester has made the right call
