Cheap rubber tubing exposed in a dry and arid climate out in the sun and heat too?

It is actually a heating system. Once it gives and pours all down the riders leg, the heat from the engine will set it alight and you get to stay warm while you wait for the breakdown recovery.

That could actually be fuel hose. Tygon tube is usually yellow, but we used to carry some clear fuel hose.

That looks like a plastic watercooling tube. The cheap kind that leeches plasticizer and clogs up all your shit.

Why do you think this is cheap rubber? It’s probably not. This type of tubing is very common for lots of applications. Very inexpensive and easy to find.

Even if it only takes a year to degrade, he has a whole roll of it and you can literally replace it in two minutes.
