Tyre watch

After my trip to Kota Bharu, the bike was taking a couple of days 'break' when I decided to take it out for a spin to meet an old friend Izu of Galleriiizu. It came as a shock to find that the rear tyre was punctured by a 3 in. nail with the wall torn off at the sides. I am extremely lucky even though it must have  happened during the journey but Alhamdulillah, I got safely home in one piece.

For safety reasons, (even though it was barely 2 months old) I did not want to take any chances and decided to change to a brand new tyre BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX BT020r 170/60ZR17M/C. Beginning to feel the pinch in my pocket..
