The third thing?

**Gremlin** · 10th June 2010, 11:58

So late last week, I suspected a slow leak in the rear tyre of the KTM. Only needed filling every 2 days, was busy, so thought about getting around to it at the KB Gathering, but ended up looking for people

Going home on Monday, I had to fill in Tokaanu (dead flat) and then Ngaruawahia, having lost enough air to start torturing the tyre. Time to get onto it I guess. Monday afternoon, found the culprit and shoved some dog poo in it.

Fast forward to Tuesday night, switched back to the hornet (better for my license around town) and thought I should check the pressures as the tyres felt a little squishy. Didn't get around to it as I didn't have time when the tyres were cold. Parked up on Wednesday night at the office to do a few hours work. Go to roll it out to go home, cor, she's put on a bit of weight.

Rear tyre is almost completely flat. *sigh* now I have another puncture to find and repair. Swap back to Katie for ride home... handy to have multiple bikes tho.

So... dare I ask, whats next?

Sounds like a really bad run!

You putting bets on what's next? Should make a poll haha

Once I got a flat tire.

Then that night I got boozed up and made a wank of myself, to the point everyone in the group decided I was a right cunt.

The very next morning I biffed my bike off a corner, done some mean as rolling and flipping, smashed through a fence (just me, the bike hit a mean as fence post and stopped.well, it threw out all its oil and then revved up to full revs until it died) and ended up in a prickly bush, pinned to the ground by the wires from the fence, Luckily they were wrapped around my neck. I found this out when I tried to leap to my feet as I could hear my bike revving to hell and back..

Then the ambulance went to the wrong location, and the fuckwit cops accused me of being a gang member, gave me all sorts of shit and a grands worth of tickets.

Then while I was being stretched into the ambo, Me brother lifted my fuckin wallet.

Also, I had a very very loud and vocal argument about whether I was in shock or not with a car driver who stopped to help, In retrospect they may have been a little more correct then I was, but fuck it, they were trying to take my after crash cigarette off me, and fuck it, I needed that at the time.

The multiple bikes thing - well, I find it a pain in the ass how often I end up with no vehicle. 3 bikes, you'd assume not all of them would be broken at the same time. And it always times out for when the cars (all fricking 3 of them) aren't working (although one car is under restoration so that doesn't count).

Wouldn't happen to be European cars by chance would they?

A guy was complaining about the flat he got outside AMPS.
Said I can't think of a better place to get one than outside a bike shop.

you're absolutely right.

I get them on Sundays, nights and the middle of the country. Puncture repair kits are extremely handy

Funny, only one of them is. And it's so reliable it's scary - one battery and about 10 jump starts though because the headlight relay was sticky. Took me a while to figure that one out... The other two are American, one's a Jeep (1979 Wagoneer), the other is a...
