Expensive test ride

[Spendthrift]

Went out for a run, testing my new shorty pazzo's, nice sunny day and enjoying the ride when suddenly the back end felt skittish,pulled over and i had a lump of flint like an old arrow head stuck in rear tyre which was now flat. As i was now in the middle of nowhere and couldn't even push the f....er i rang all the tyre places i knew and no one would come out except Jack Lilleys. Got picked up and they fitted a new Pilot for me ,good of them seeing's i didn't even get my bike from them.£200 later i was back on the road. The Pazzo's are great.

I had a flat once and had to push - at minimum 5 miles - it was worse than when my old dirt bike broke down in the middle of no where on a weekday ride.
I think the fact I was being passed by zillions of people while pushing and not one guy with a truck stopped and offered to load my bike and take me to a gas station.

I hope you get your tires from them from now on....
They saved your butt....IMO they deserve your business..

They did save the day and i always get all my parts from them.

Why not just ride it really slow? It beats pushing? Of coarse, now that I made a comment I will be next to get a flat...

Been there, done that.

OUCH! Well at least they got you moving and you didn't have an unintentional get-off from the flat.

Cuz it was the front tire and I didn't want to ruin the rims...or worse crash!


Oh, I know, I should have just done a wheelie to the first gas station right? LOL...
