What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

It's 1622.  The tire is OEM from a 2023 bike that I bought in September of '22.  

Failed tire has a history...I had a 5" spike puncture the tire last September.

It was a roadside repair, and if I remember right, a tire patch was used on the interior surface of the tire.  New tube was used.  As I changed the tube out yesterday, I could feel a divit where this nail penetrated the tire last year.  I think over the last year the tire patch wore away and the tube finally worked its way into the crevice and got eaten up by the jaggedness of the divit.  Here's a photo of the damaged tube from this time around:

It's got nearly 4k miles on it, which isn't bad I'm told by other DR650 owners.
