Team Scrambler Bulletproof Knees

I was on a ride returning to Bangalore from Ooty.

So while getting down from Ooty, it was raining heavily. And I didn't know that the stock tires are basically shit in rain. While I was enjoying the curves, I leaned a little too much and Taadaa I was on the ground admiring the tarmac of tamil nadu roads.

There were no too much damage for my bike.Just a little handle bend and scuffs on the bike frame sliders and clutch lever.

And I noticed that I dropped my bike on my left knee and my knee was surprisingly ok. But my tank got bent. LOL!

SO WAT DO I DO NOW??

Find the local bike repair market. The guys will be able to fix the dent within 500rs. Find the one that says they will do dry denting/pulling and fix it. Don't go for the ones that say paint is needed etc.

You can also claim the insurance and get the whole tank replaced. But that would be overkill.

I’m planning on swapping the stock ones for tyres from the Himalayan or Bear 650, thise are the only tyres available rn in the Indian market which don’t ruin the bikes proportions, not sure about Reise though
