Long-Term Review
Life was going well. Riding my V-Strom in lovely weather en route to see my Dad, I couldn’t have been more content. And then the joy was suddenly put on hold. After clocking over 90 miles of the 100-mile journey, I heard a muffled bang and hiss. The tell-tale slewing of the rear end confirmed my suspicions, and sure enough it was a flat tyre that ended the fun right then and there. I’m not new to punctures, but little did I know, getting it sorted would take loads of time and effort.
