I fitted a new rear tyre to my bike this afternoon. A Pirelli Scorpion. This replaces the stock Bridgestone. It was becoming a little “unsafe” the way it was. Bald in the middle.

It was a 5 minute job to put the wheel back on, it was a 5 minute job to get the wheel off.

I haven’t kicked the bike off the centre stand yet. That will happen tomorrow morning as I leave for work. However, I did check the odometer.

My stock Bridgestone tyres have done 20,159 kms.

I’ll be surprised if the Scorpions can stand up to that record, but I’m hoping to get better “performance” out of them. Time will tell.
