After a second puncture in the past two weeks, a nail on both occasions picked up somewhere, probably because I like to filter along the drain or gutter of the road, space and an obvious escape if things   more...go wrong, I replaced my tyres. The downside is that I risk picking whatever crap is swept to the side of the road. I went with a simple replacement of the existing tyre, a 180/55 18" Dunlop Sportsmax tyre. Why? It was the only 18" in stock anywhere in Dublin for a reasonable price. I go to work on this bike. I rarely if ever drive. A lot of Vrod riders don't like the tyre, but it has given me no cause for complaint. I kept a slow pace. I wanted to scrub in the tyres gently, and the past two weeks of worrying about slow punctures had messed my mind too much. I simply rode along the N81 out of Dublin as far as Blessington, and obviously back. I think this bit of footage starts in Crooksling or somewhere like that. Don't know really.  less
