KSA Photo Diary: Visuals from the Concrete Desert #1

in #saudi8 years ago (edited)

Here are some of my original photos from some days out on the town to the computer souk, and to the tire shop which was quite worth the time spent locating it. You don't even go to the counter, no waiting, just chill with the tech and pay him an exceptionally reasonable $4 per tire (and a nice tip for him).

The Bowels of Khobar (classic dungeon-esque souk in alley) with items of questionable origin. I did pick up some sweet Stan Smith's and the salesman kept remarking, "China good!".

Much awaited mod to my Honda MSX125 (GROM), the stock tires on this nice little 125cc bike are terrible - VEE RUBBER! These Pirelli Diablo scooter tires are sticky and the while I had the rear off I added a Vortex 35t sprocket.

Outside the computer souk/mall. It's amazingly clean now. Where lay rubble is now paved!

Downtown you gotta beat the heat, especially when you do a KUNG POW in the kitchen in Saudi Summers!

Hi all. Commenting to verify that @sirlordcomic is a real person and not a robot. We've been friends since high school. Glad you decided to join Steemit @sirlordcomic :)

Make sure to include a note that these photos are original work - and maybe a short comment on each pic.

Thanks! Writing and drinking coffee.
