When lubing my chain after my trip to Wales on the GS, I noticed that my rear tyre – a TKC80 was split between a couple of tread blocks. It wasn`t catastrophic looking and it had brought me back from Wales in one piece, but not wishing to tempt fate, I had the tyre replaced this morning at South London Motorrad. I must remember to measure the tread block before using the tyre. My last one seemed to wear down quickly, particularly in the centre section but as I hadn`t measured the blocks when new, I had no way of actually measuring the wear.
Now to the plan – I am aiming to go to northern India and the Himalayas next year! SWMBO has kind of given me her blessing…
The trip will be aboard Royal Enfields – the best bike to have in India if you need repairs apparently. Best of all, buddies from my Patagonian adventure are also planning to come – should be a great trip.
