How to destroy a 160
Heres my nice new tire after about 800kms with a specially manufactured groove. Talk about piss me off. On the run, first day out of Sydney, no worries. Reasonable roads over to Dubbo, but when ya leave there and head north its a different story. I was bottoming out so often the tire was contacting one of the bolts holding on the number plate bracket. But I didnt think of that bolt when it first happened, I thought it was the seat bolt, and removed that. Needless to say the problem didnt go away and as the roads got worse so did the damage. Only discovered what it was the other day when the bike was on the stand and I could see up under the guard.I had to change round every guard mounting bolt, and remove the rh bracket thats inside the guard normally, cos theres just no room for this tire. I wouldnt bother doing it again....
