Another rear puncture on the VFR on the way home. In the dark. In the rain. First I knew was a very squidgy feeling when I couldn't make the bike go round a corner on a roundabout. Looks like a slash cut. Second one on the Road 5 tyres. Not sure if I'm just unlucky or if they're not very robust. They've done about 2000 miles.

Had to get wife to rescue me with a bike pump and try to get anough air in the tyre to get the last half mile home very slowly with air escaping fast from the tyre.
