DrBob's 1000LE - Weekend Exposure and Punctures!

Well it started well and I put 60 miles on it Saturday morning, I almost died of exposure at 7 in the morning but the clear roads made up for that.

Sunday morning I got 3 miles from home and the bike picked up a puncture, only 2 places within 20 miles of Chichester deal with motorcycle tyres, one was shut and the other I don't trust so I was knackard until Monday.

I got the bike back yesterday and a new inner tube cost the grand total of 7.06 out of 45 pound total. I'm in the wrong bussiness, I should take up fitting tyres at 40 pounds an hour.

Though you can't leave it until spring to ride it properly. As soon as mine is run in and I've given it a bit of stick it'll be going in the kitchen on display, but there are another 2 weeks of sun before that happens.
