Gutted

[billalrebhan]

Was on my way to meet the wife and kids in Inverary this morning for a wee day out, them in the car me on the bike,i gave them a good head start and left the house,stopped and filled up with petrol and headed up by Loch lomond sun's out lovely day :thumbsup:Overtook a line of cars leaned the bike into a corner and thought this does'nt feel right,not another puncture says i to myself,leans into the next bend and its not wanting to go over,deffo a puncture,pulls into the next lay-by and sure enough a flat rear,i don't even think i have done 300 miles on that tyre and thats the 2nd time its been punctured   Anyway phoned the RAC who came out and put a temp repair in it so i could get home Took the wheel off and took it to a bike shop for repair. They could'nt do it as it was only 41/2 inches away from the last one   New tyre ordered

Its the first time i have ran michelins on this bike and picked up 2 nails in 300 miles,never had a puncture on this bike in nearly 4 years,unlucky or what

A biker in a van stopped to see what the problem was,but could not help,nice one anyway mate :thumbsup:Shame on the fifty or so bikes that passed by without even stopping changed days indeed

your reputation precede you bill............

shi&&er to have one never mind the second, have not had the pleasure over the years (currently touching large wood  ), do you ride near an industrial estate or some such?? the to&&ers around the back of us at work dont seem to care where they throw their nails and shite

And what reputation is that then

Just normal roads Alan,have not had one in the last four years,just wonder if i'm unlucky or the michelin pilots are softer tyres than the pirellis i always use,hence easier to pick up nails

[Steve R1]

I run Michelin pilot power 2ct's for many years, and power ones of late, had the odd puncture, but no more than with Pirellis or dunflops or Bridgestone. I think you have just been unlucky mate

Poor luck Bill, but be aware they reakon it runs in 3's 

I had a puncture this year, first tiem I did not have breakdown cover included with my insurance 

Have bought said break down cover now, so wont be getting anymore punctures

Funnily enough i was told that yesterday to expect a 3rd the wife deffo would not be happy,i did learn something yesterday,never forget to carry your membership card with the RAC,the guy had a right moan at me not having mine and as my wife had hers  but was 40 miles further up the road he was not happy at all and said bikers were commiting freud all the time and i could have been anybody,which was true as i had no way of identifying myself he said that if i needed to have been picked up,they would not have done it until i produced my card....................can't see what the problem was as it was at my house where i could have then produced it   He says it happens all the time a bike breaks down,he turns up and theres 5 bikes but only one member with the RAC whos bike is the one broke down,he then starts asking technical questions about that bike to try and catch them out He asked me what the tyre pressure was Still i usually always carry it and will from now on just to stop the moaning

i was taking the wee wee bill.............you have mentioned a few times about your "gang" life, or maybe they know you off here

Alan i wish you would just write what you think mate instead of being so cryptic

i was taking the wee wee bill

I know you were so was i

you have mentioned a few times about your "gang" life.

I think i mentioned it once on here Hatred of the cops started there,by the way fookin loved bricking their motors for the chase who needed bikes for the adreniline rush in themdays who says the 70s were bad old days

or maybe they know you off here 

I  have met alot of nice people of here,but if this is a reference to my other thread,don't flatter yourself it has fook all to do with you

I gave up a long time ago worrying what people thought of me on here

So anyway according to you in jest because of my gang past when i was in early teens i somehow deserved  to have my tyre punctured twice in 300 miles

OK Alan nice one

[Alan@asperformance]

no Bill you read far too much into my "cryptic" message.............i was taking the pi$$ full stop - i would hardly have offered an insight as to the punctures cause round here otherwise........and i certainly dont think anyone deserves a puncture (unless you proper upset me  )

as for threads that i think might about me?? no idea what your on about but dont worry anyways -  its a "forum" so i dont take whats said on here very seriously at all - might be worth taking a step back yourself as i certainly dont know enough about you (or many others) to have a dislike of you?? its called takling the pi$$

dont worry about it bill as i wont.............

[billalrebhan]

I was taking the wee wee alyn

 

[Alan@asperformance]

no worries at least we all now know we are pi££ takers............happy days

[Iceman]

Bad luck Bill just done 3500 miles on my mitchys with no problems

[billalrebhan]

Think i might have found the cause,a woman along the road has been having an extension built and new windows fitted,so i said to my kids the next time they were along the street see if any nails are lying on the road out side that house   My youngest daughter found 7 on the road and my wife found 3 when she was walking the dog   Barstewards,i couldn't prove it though   The second puncture looked as if the nail was embedded then fell out

[Iceman]

Looks like you have found your problem then mate
