Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

Its a case of Needs must rather than affordability, only ridden during summer now so that covers that 6 months of riding anyway.
I'm actually replacing tyres earlier now. They seem to be making them thinner these days and I owrry about them delaminating when they get close to the wear indicators.
Tyre I just took off prob had one more ride left in it.... but after seeing what happened to the Pirelli I thought the same of only 60km later up the Taihape road... all at less than license losing speeds I just don't go there anymore.
Yep everyones on a different budget though, oddly the superbike is cheaper than the tyres and tubes on the DR650 in the long run.... work that one out!

To update:
I swapped out the S20 front today after 9000km. But I probably should have put it away at about 8 given that the shoulders were about bare...replaced with a PP3 to match that on the back.
That PP3 on the back is up to 4600km and looks OK although I suspect that the shape is just starting to erode. I wonder just how well it will stand up.
But wait there'll be more.
Latest: Innit nice having a new tyre on the front. I forgot it was new after about two minutes on the Raggers road.
