Pine Trees lined along the highway of Don Salvador Benedicto

A good portion of the Highway of DSB is lined with sweet smelling pine trees. Often Jude and his friends would stop in this part of the place for some photo op.

Malatan-og Falls

Just along the highway, specifically in Brgy. Kumaliskis, any road tripper can just drop by the viewing deck for Malatan-og Falls. The area also serves as the jump-off point for people who would want to come and enjoy the falls. A tour guide is required for people who would want to go to the falls which will be provided as soon as you pay the environmental fee at the place.

The trek to the falls would take around 30-45 minutes depending on the speed and physical power of the guests.

Another spot which many tourists stop for some photo opp is the viewing deck which is also found along the highway. The place offers an impressive view of the mountains, rice terraces, and a river.

Here’re some tips he gave.

Choosing the Right Motorcycle Tires  

There are all kinds of motorcycle tires that you can find right now. There are some tires that are made for the streets. Some motorcycle tires can be used for dirt roads. Finding the right tires is not only about picking the right size although this should also be considered. You can look at themotorcycle tire shop in order to look at the various items available.

These are some of the things that you should look for:

Find the right tire size that will give you the ability to ride your motorcycle without any issues.

There are different tire sizes that may be appropriate for your motorcycle. You can read up on more details about this or you may also ask people who are already experts in determining the right size for your motorcycle.

You should know by now that the rim strips are very important.

If you find some rims that do not come with this, then you can look elsewhere. Rim strips are highly important in preventing the tires from getting punctured. There are a lot of potential problems that you will go through on the road. You can prevent your tires from getting rubbed with the right rim strips.

The place where you are going to buy discount motorcycle tires will still be important.

Some stores are well known for providing the tires that people need. What if you would purchase from a shop that has gotten only negative reviews? You may end up with discounted tires that will not last.

You can consider OEM parts for motorcycles that you can buy from various stores. Focusing on your tires are important especially if you need replacement tires right away but there are also other parts of your motorcycle that you can greatly improve.

Riding your motorcycle will not be safe unless you are wearing the right safety gear. The helmet that you pick will make a huge difference in the number of places that you can use your motorcycle. Pick motorcycle gear and parts that will allow you to ride your motorcycle safely and comfortably.
