Got a flat tyre today...

**hellokitty** · 24th October 2010, 15:13

Sitting in the gutter with a flat tyre - thanks to all the bikers that ignored me

I don't know - does it look normal to see a biker chick sitting in the gutter drinking a 2 litre bottle of milk with all her gear in a pile beside the bike?
(I had been to the supermarket and was eating/drinking my purchases - luckily I didn't need to use the toliet paper yet)

Thanks to the lawn mower guy that wanted to make me a coffee and thanks to the van load of maori boys that wanted to help.

I could understand the harley guys that wouldn't pee on a Jap bike if it was on fire, but all the other jap bikes going past?

I hope you all get herpes.

Were you signalling for help? Otherwise people might've thought you were just taking a break.

Next time try showing a little skin

If you want people to stop then signal to them. If your sitting there having a drink or eating some food how the hell are they going to know you need some assistance!

I am hoping Shannon is a place not a person?

Les has a post on here somewhere with some old-skool distress call with helmet at 20 paces scenario.
If I see a bike parked roadside I normally slow down and give a thumbs up. If your in trouble a thumbs down would be the appropriate response.

I take it you've purchased a repair kit now?

That may create a pile-up.

I got the AA to pick me up as I didn't know what to do = I was offered that stuff you fill the flat tyre with but I know once you do that the tyre is stuffed (right?)
I wasn't sure if I could get a tube put in or if I get a new tyre.
My husband was unreachable as he is racing today, so we took it home and dumped it in the driveway.

Yay for the AA - I could have called Cyclespot but I still had to get home.
