Bikers' Banter

Kit up, drop bike off main stand… something amiss.

Bleddy flat front tyre.

Not 100% shock, as it had dropped to 30psi the week before, which was odd.

No sign of a foot pump! Drive into town and buy one.
Couple of minutes later, all done and off I go.
But, check before coming home, and it’s dropped 10psi.

New tyre this week then.

It's rather deflating isn't it........ looks like you Nailed the Picture posting though !!!!

I hate punctures. I have all manner of repair kits but sooner or later, the wheel has to come out. So frustrating! I know exactly how to do it, but I really can't grip hard enough to get anything undone nowadays

But I have a plan. Little Harriet is five now. It surely can't be much longer before she's stronger then I am

taller Too ?

Well at least the photos not upside down, so getting better.

Not experianced a flat tyre yet (that i can remember).
I am thinking and hope but i will check i have that covered in my breakdown thingy.
I believe there are tyre repair companys that come to you in a van for repair. Will also check that out now you mention it.
Good luck getting yours done NC.

I went through a phase of having punctures on new tyres a few years ago but nothing since @ 10 years ago when my Busa's rear went down on a spirited ride home from West Bay.... funny thing was that I pulled in behind a Bentley GT that also had a flat..... must have been a a bunch of screws somewhere........

Bob, when they go down, You'll notice that the bike won't drop into corners, it wants to stay upright so it's best to pull over ASAP.

Don't know why people complain about a flat tyre, it's only flat at the bottom.

AND, where's Piglet??

Piglet has dissapeared, He's not posted on FB either and no sign of him looking in on there either... A few of us have Messaged him and I have his work details but a bit worried about contacting him......
