Not posted for a while - been way too busy

Anyway was having a nice autumn ride on the way to work when big bang, handling goes all wobbly and guess what huge F'off nail through the back tyre which has incidentally smashed my YZF750 hugger to bits.

very p'd off as tyre had loads of wear! + new hugger to buy

Anyway will have to buy new tyre - Michelin road pilot 3 any tips on cheapest deal? Best to buy online and get it fitted? - Probably. Anyone know any good tyre fitters round Brum?

Bad luck mate, been there, it always happens to a good tyre and never the squared off bugger that just squeezed through the MOT!

I've found Addisons in Tipton pretty good also used Two Wheel on the Queslett rd however moto-tyres.co.uk have some good deals, free delivery to your home or to a fitter nearest to you and pay them for fitting( £10 each near me).
A pair of Pilots cost me £60 less that way than the same fitter quoted me direct from him.

Hope that helps.

you can't just plug it?

Oh well took the wheel off and went for new tyre, tryre split and unrepairable £160 for new Michelin Road Pilot 3, Also new set of rear pads and hugger fitted. Clean up and possibly ride to check all is well - if I have enough time!
