went back to christchurch last week to pick up my Aprillia that has been parked up there for the last few months.....
Battery was flat, so went out and bought a new one......
easier then trying to charge an older battery and finding out halfway that it wasn't up to the task.
Bilke started second pop.... running nice and smooth.
Was a bit pressed for time, so gave it a quick look over, and filled her up.
Hooned it 30 odd kms down the road to the motel we were staying....
Tyre looked a bit flat next morning, so off to servo ,
Only to find out that she wasn't taking in any air.
Luckily boyscouts are well prepared, so I took of wheel, removed tyre,and found That the tube valve was ripped out......
One spoke was also poking through rim...
Luckily I carry a few spare spokes as well.....
Same boyscout carried spare tube so day could be saved.....
Luckily ferry wasn't booked, so partner and I spend nite in Picton and got home day later..
(partner took down classic saab turbo convertable in convoy)
Weather was great,
Saab went topless for half off the way, and gave me a bloody good run for my money.....
But still.....
Not enough air f*cked a near new tube...
What a cock....
saved a minute or two..
Yeah right.....
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
