PUNCTURE

[doyle]

Today,i had my first puncture on a big bike in almost 35000 miles .Riding back from forfar the bike wasn't handling great,i now have a tiger 955i which i was getting on great with,however i had a couple of dodgy moments before i sussed what was wrong. Anyway i tootled home with 0.4psi in the rear,ordered 2 new tyres which the bike was needing anyway.
So have i just been fortunate ,not tempting fate ,but punctures during normal road riding seem to be relatively rare.Maybe some of you have been less fortunate.

My last puncture was about 70,000 miles ago in Aberystwyth, fixed it on the front (near the cafe where the bikes congregate) with the BMW repair kit that was part of an 1150 toolkit and used the tyre for another 2,000 miles.
