On my way home from work on my Storm yesterday and about a mile from home I noticed the back end feeling a bit wobbly, slowed down and got home only to have my fears confirmed that I had a punture. Bit peeved off at this as the tyre had another couple of thousand miles in it but has a new one in the shed so wasn't too pissed off.
Went inside mumbling and grumbling to the other half who tried her hardest to be sympathetic with me before deciding to go out and take the wheel out.just as i got in the shed my bike just sat up and fell over sideways.The tyre had totally deflated and tipped the bike.Now i've had to go replace a snapped front and rear brake lever and got a nice scratch on my engine casing to go with my flat tyre!

peeved off or what

Mark,
That sucks! Sorry for your misfortune.
Do you install your own tires?

Used to when tyres were half the width but never fancied changing a 180 section tyre,happy to just take the wheel out and let someone else do it now.
still waiting for my brake lever from Dave Silver,so much for all the people who got next day delivery

, mind you the bikes still rideable
