I've been riding for about 10 years. So far I've had 2 anni pneumaticus horriblis.

Once in Aug94-Aug95 when I had 2 VFR750 which had 3 punctures between them.

The last was more recent. Nail in newish Tourance, plugged successfully by BS approved repair. Later, same tyre, terminal puncture going around Nant-y-moch with a group from here.

Then, the replacement developed a slow puncture in the sidewall. This too has been repaired by a specialist (my tyre fitter had to send it away and there is a huge great vulcanized patch on the tyre wall).

Wessie forgets to say that at the time of the Nant-y-Moch trip his tyre was down to the canvas!!!!

Graham,

Guess you are just unlucky like me, my old R had 4 Rears on it in 2 Years with 11000 miles done . Ow......

3 punctures, 1 baldy. I did live on a new build however ,so maybe it was all the crap of the building site.

Do you run ultraseal in the tyres now ?

Just done over 2000 miles on me new GS so i reckon im just about ready to get a flattie.
