    You was lucky. But how could anyone tell whether their tyre had been pando'd
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Lucky bugger. Hope the heart has slowed
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Feck lucky you. Did the tyre wall blow out or did the tube deflate fast out the Valve hole? You don't want tubes if you can help it but where there are spokes there are tubes. I know this doesn't apply in all cases as some spokes are set to the out side. I think the BMW PD is one of them bikes. Well done mate.
