Flat tire... then bike falls off recovery truck!

Bad luck mate. Thats a real hard luck story that could happen to anyone.

Can I suggest (too late I know...but...)

Carry a puncture repair kit under your seat. The type with the plugs , plug tool and mini cannister of comp. air.

Convenient and keeps you self reliant in case of a puncture.

Ouch, bad luck Grinchy boy. Hope it gets sorted soon

That guy gets paid to drop bikes then? might have to find out where this guy is and make him fall into the road!

Normally I use UltraSeal, as I have some in the front. But I haven't had some spare cash and time to get some for the back (its in the front). Just one of those things that got forgot... But now I wish I hadn't.

Jax has spoken to the insurance company and looks like they are going to do something now... very persuasive woman my Jax.

Jeez sorry to hear that, I think it is a joke of a way to load the bike to the flatbed. The only time my bike was loaded onto a non bike specific truck there was a trolley that was lowered onto the road then bike was then secured then winched onto the truck all I had to do (or ever do when I've been picked up) was hold the bike upright while the first straps were put on.

I hope you get compensated for this as it isn't your responsibility to load the bike onto the truck and it should have officially been in the care of the recovery agent.

Right, just dug this thread up from the depths of the forum as I thought you would like to know that last week my Solicitors, White Dalton got a Settlement back from my personal injury. The settlement is 5 grand, less £1500 that I have to pay back to my medical insurance for my treatment. So I end up with 3 and half, after a 2 year wait.

Well that's a result.

the wheels of justice apparently move very slowly! (just seen CoolGirls's thread in Idle Banter as well...)

glad to hear that you've got a decent payout tho
