just got the bike out to give it a wash after my first ride on it last saturday an I've got a flat back tyre.dont know wether to fix it or get a new one, theres probably about 1500 miles left in it but theres some cracking deals going on pairs of Michelin Pilot Powers.

My Mum has been saying "we're due for an Indian summer" since about 1979......

I got a rear puncture 70 miles after putting Michelin pilot road 2 on so had it repaired, done a few thousand miles and its been ok but its always in the back of my mind that the tyre has been plugged.
For the first time in 29 years I have let the mot lapse and SORNed the bike, I was thinking of April to get all legal again but May might be more practicle I think Dick has the right idea with a second bike for the more inclement weather
