The fucktard would be me
What's an unemployed bum meant to do on a lazy Monday?
Get on the bike and ride.
So I did, To Taupo, where I stopped for petrol, and noticed my rear tyre was totally fucked, There was a wear strip around the entire tyre nearly all the way through to thin air, the mesh in the tyre had been exposed and worn through in some places and exposed all the way round.
Which explained the erratic behaviour of the rear end over the last couple of hours, and cleared up how many Km's I would get out of a tyre on this bike. Damned luckjy I stopped when I did, Though I'm fucked if I know how I missed how worn the tyre was before I left for the day.
Couldn't go any further so I rang the Mrs and enquired how much money we had in the bank, Minus $8 is what I was told.
Bugger.
Rang me younger brother, He must have known something was up as he didn't answer his phone
Rang me oldboy, Asked him where he was, Invercargill Airport. Fuck me says I.
Nothing left to do but ring Taupo's most famous Kiwibiker.....Katman.
I explained my predicament (must have been a weird phone call, "Hello, My Name is Josh but you probably know me as Headbanger, And I need your help") and 20 minutes later he had picked me and my bike up, run me back to his workshop in Taupo, fitted a replacement tyre on my bike and sent me on my way.
An hour and a half after thinking I was fucked I was back on the road and heading home.
Champion
I did take a photo of the damage but I got home to find my iPhone is dead,wtf?
