Bad luck day

[Animal]

Thought I would take my Firestorm to work today for a bit of a blat after work.
Rode it yesterday and all was fine, today got about 15 miles into my 57 mile commute (one way) and all the dials went off.
Bugger I know what that means Reg/rec again. turned lights off dials come on. Turn indicators on dials go off.
So turned round went back home and switched to the FJR.
Got home tonight to check the reg/rec and could'nt open the bike barn because it looked like bike had tried falling over.
So the reason behind that is flat back tyre, glass in it, double bugger.
Put bike on paddock stand, now to check the reg/rec, trouble is battery is flat, triple bugger.
Almost guaranteed to be the reg/rec now, only bought it last October from Electrex, they can have that back for one that works then.

Weekend now so all is cool. Decision to make is fill the tyre with puncture safe or get it plugged.

So, how was your day?

Animal, you need to watch out as bad luck comes in 3's......you have one more to come

Kev, good luck with the gracefull slide to becoming a rebellios grandad

[Kev L]

Yes mate, I used to pose a threat to society but now I just Pose! Rebellious is a good target to strive for.

Animal, don't use any of that spray gum/slime stuff in the tyre to seal punctures, that is only a temporary measure. Either get a plug kit and plug it yourself or take it down the local tyre shop to plug it for you.

Congrats kev the grandad. Do you know if it's a boy or girl or a surprise?

(:-})

[Kev L]

Don't know whether it's a boy, girl as yet mate, still waiting for them to make their grand entrance.
