cheers Jambo, you know how it is tho when you didnt plan for it and it decides it wants a wad of cash out your already suffering wallet. Bummer or what.

So, who can recommend me a tyre then? I'm reading the FWR site and stumbled across this
"the Avon Azaro 3 is the only tyre made in Britain and the only one to carry a puncture warranty. That’s right, if you get a puncture in a nearly new tyre Avon will replace it free of charge! "

Anyone know anything about these tyres at all?? Any good?

bummer re the puncture

but you know you should never let a bike overhear that you're going to part with it - they do anything they can to stay!

My Bandit blew an indicator on the way home from Soho the day before I bought the Kwak

Zig, if you're going to sell the bike, and the front tyre's ok, I'd put the same on the rear.

The fronts on the way out too and it was a conti attack. The rear sjowed signs of wear fairly quickly too so i've opted for a Z6 for the rear. Cheap enough and popular enough.
Now i just gotta endure daytime telly till Jim gets here. This time i'll try and get a couple of pics when he arrives cos its quite a sight to see.

I had Avons on mine.. no problems with them at all and very good in the wet.

Just put the conti's on this time just to have a change.

Ah, thanx buddy. the way i'm slowly killing this one off tho means its probably not a good idea to let me near another bike till i fix this one.

Even when i borrowed the RizlaSV it had a flat battery on me the next morning

I'm just jinxed sometimes.

And JB, yes i'm in PP mode right now. Seeing as my Spidey enses didnt pick up the fact that i got another puncture i'm not trusting myself to slip into that costume again today
