Default look before you ride

well i was just about to go out for a little ride when i noticed a nickel size buldge in my front tire, dont know why but im happy i saw it before i was riding down the road and it blew, still pissed i have to spend alot to buy new tires but whatever. so if you dont you should inspect your bike before you ride, and maybe save your own ***.

There was a recall on the PP, but I dont think that was the issue. But you can still get it replaced if it is the right recall part number.

The buldge is caused by a broken belt inside. Sucks either way though.
