I could be interested - as long as they dont mind if i bring my stabilisers - or maybe i will have learned how to ground coners by then.
edit: on holiday so cant make it!
my bike still sitting in the underground carpark at work - using the scooter at present.
AA will turn up and take to a tyre place so thats simplest.

Can I suggest that its useful to carry a roadside plug / repair kit for bikes , and a couple of cannisters of " air "
These plugs really do work and are easy to install .

as i commute daily within london would be quite useful. 1st puncture after 4 years but these things come in 3'ssss
out of interest, as its a no no to repair high performance tyre on a bike, would you repair a puncture on the 3 or new tyre?

These are temporary repairs though with a recomended top speed restriction, although i know of guys that have just got on and hammered it for another couple of weeks
If a puncture is in the rear tyre , and near centre of tread , I wouldnt be concerned about having a tyre professionally plugged .

IF , you can get one , I am told the BMW standard issue kit is superb, but the ones you will pick up in INFINITY or Gerike will do the job .

havnt pulled out the offending object to see how long it is but about 1mm-2mm thick.
bike is a cbr600f. it gets accelerated hard but unikley ever to do a track day or go much above 125 if i'm being honest.
