Hi people!
Just coming from the Ace with ryan and adrian and as we were passing the traffic lights near the ikea i heard a loud bang and i thought what the f… was that!!!:w00t:
As we continue the bike started fishtailing so it was obvious my rear tyre had burst!
As i din’t want to leave the bike i manage to do about 4miles on a flat tyre with ryan escorting me at the back!! i know it was a silly thing to do but…i just couldn’t leave the bike!!! even manage to do some filtering around traffic!
wot an experience!!
Thanks ryan! can anyone recomend a garage for tyres??!!
o ****!! luckily it didn’t happen on the m1 on the way to the ace!!
I know!!! thank god for that!!!

Jeez mate, you are lucky that could have been so much worse. I take it was a major blow out or just a aggressive puncture?
crap…
as curtis said though, good job it didnt happen when we were on the m1…
**miggy> ** scary stuff :w00t: did the tyre have any damage before it went?
roadrunner> seal yourself into your house using gaffer tape; turn off 'lecy at the fusebox and dont touch anything!

Thanks for your concern guys!!
fortunately the tyre didn’t deflated quickly but there was point i thought i was going to loose it!!!:hehe:
Its an expensive toy to own a bike!!!
Are you kidding??? He’ll probably take out the whole street the way his LUCK is going at the moment!!!:w00t:
RR - maybe you should start doing the lottery as the luck has gotta switch sides at some point soon… and if it’s all about balance, you’re owed BIG time!!!
