I watched the film Fisherman's Friends last night . I sure I saw @Saul in there somewhere

@Renegade , do you recognise the sticker on my old KTM 950 screen in the background ?

Most of it Fred, we only had about 8 lanes left to do and I did those two weeks ago. I can't wait to get the tyre off and see what caused the instant deflation. My money is on a HD tube with a big tear in it .

I'm sure the 250 is an ex Neil Hudson bike. Back in the day before he became World 250 MX champion we used to try and get up the same coal tips as him and his brother at Pensford. Obviously we wern't quite as successful as them two https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Hudson_(motorcyclist)

We've probably got more than that in Louigi Moto

That’s Ersilia’s, I’m on the Leffe blond tonight

Chicken and Chorizo tonight

It’s back in my garage

@Sir Fallsalot am I right in thinking that wood burning stoves will become illegal soon ? Our neighbour has one and I'm sure he said something like that a while back ?

We'd been riding in 40c temps in Bardenas Reale in Spain and then coming back up through France the twat was hammering along at 70-80mph. The mousse couldn't take it and decided the make an exit, it took the rear tyre off and locked up the back wheel .

He was sent into the central reservation but survived unhurt

You could say that

I ignored it as it would only be 6 steps for me

I don't trust mousse's Fred after I saw my mate's blow out on his KLX400 in France, that was bloody scary.

Ok short version of events. My mate gets a puncture (slow one) at 3.00pm , he needs to get back to Redditch by 5.00 pm as he has to collect his van from the garage, so I gave him my compressor so he could pump it up every so often. He says to me 'what if you get a puncture' , I say 'what are the chances of that ' . At 4.00pm with me heading home I get a blow out on the top of the Cotswolds, not a puncture but instant deflation sending me across the road but remaining upright . With no means of blowing the tyre up even if I put a new tube in it, I decided to ride 7 miles to Cirencester where there would be some civilisation for an easier recovery. I got there doing 20mph all the way and the tyre stayed on the rim but was f*cked, hence the need to ask for recovery. As long as my bike does get back here I will be phoning RAC customer services on Monday to ask them if they think their shitty service is acceptable.

Precisely, the latest estimate is that it's being collected at 5.00 pm . I'll believe it when I see it.

To my shame I haven't got around to it yet

Who are you watching ?

ask the wankers at RAC , i'm actually on the phone to them right now as it's still not back.

WR250, I'm now sitting here worried whether they will actually be able to recover it to my house today. In my dealings with them yesterday I came to the conclusion that they are employing half-wits. There is also the situation where no manager was available yesterday evening and their customer services department doesn't work on the weekend

Well my day yesterday was one that I won't forget in a hurry. It's a long story but basically if you're in the UK don't expect much of RAC breakdown and recovery, they are the most useless w*nkers ever. I finally got home at gone midnight after calling them at 4.27pm and my bike is till in someone's garden in Cirencester

That's what happens in my workplace as well @Pedro, my boss hates it as he can't get any work done so by Monday he's always grumpy.

Just waiting for a break in it now 🌧

Are you @XTreme ?

Absolutely pissing down here and I’ve got a 2hr 30 mins ride in front of me before I even get to the lanes. Any advise @skyrider, @busabeast ?
