Honda Varadero 1K

[Tribalish]

Vara Bros,

 

ride with care on road for those who travels from KPE towards town most of the times. NAILS everywhere not a couple but a bunch. i guess could be some foul play and got myself a long solid 4inches nail right in my rear tire and punch through the sides of rims.

 

beware!

[Varas]

Tribal> the rims got punched through! Bro, its time u source for a new rim. Its unsafe to use the rim back liao... ebay.uk usually has those scrap items for varadero, i got myself a carb there sometime back as my old carb was out of service due to wear and tear..

Lucky escape. Thanks for the warning I use that route quite often. I am bit paranoid myself but I think it's just lousy, careless and incosiderate truck users, I hate riding near construction trucks these days for all the rubbish that comes off them due to poor or over loading.
