ahh cheersmate... well let me know when you lot are next out then! i was in preston 2 days ago, at that ghost bikes shop. vought some new boots then got a front puncture on the m6 junction 21 on the way to millenium motorcycles. the valve had been ripped by the dust cap. the ones that light up when u start moving. due to the weight it had ripped the valve with the speed on the motorway. it sucked!!! i didnt put them on the last owner did. what a twonk.... i didnt think anything of them wheni saw them i dont think they even worked! 85 quid for a new front tire, because once the front was off and the tire was off the inside of the tire was shagged due to ridding on it flat. whilst i was trying to pull over safely.
