Chas Bikes/Puncture
Oh the joys of a rear wheel puncture on a country road somewhere between Henley on Thames and the M4 wearing full leathers in 32c heat for near on 3 hours!
I wont even go into one about the number of "Sunday bikers" on their plastic bullets who kindly beeped their horn as they went past - whatever happened to bikers stopping to help when a fellow biker is in need of help????!!!!! But I guess they were pleasant after the 20th car with teenage scrunts had gone past shouting cr*p and making w**nker signs! Still at least good ol' Chasbikes rekindled my slipping faith in bikers - top service - have to be the cheapest in Central London for repairs etc and free food on top. For anyone in London looking for standard repairs/replacement work, which doesn't need an experienced Ducati person to do it, then I really do recommend Chasbikes. 70 Great Suffolk St London SE1 0BL www.chasbikes.co.uk

After having several punctures myself (my bike not me), I now always carry a puncture repair kit under the seat. They're really easy to use and you'll be riding again within half an hour. Get them at any bike shop... Hein-Gericke do them for about £15. Darry. |

Cheers Darry.
Unfortunately some kind person left a lovely piece of shrapnel in a laybye and it pretty much shredded the back tyre, so it was beyond repair Have you got any closer to moving up the Monster ladder yet? Saw a couple of your previous posts with Ricky - did make me chuckle

Well if anyone needs any volcanized rubber for that extra bit of protection, I know Chasbikes has some!

I've used Chasbikes for years, top notch, where else can you get a puncture fixed at 8:30am on your way to work in cental London? Have they fixed their balancer yet? I got them to take my wheel round the corner to have it balanced, last month! As for instant repair kits, nothing pisses of the guy who has to change your tyre like a load of slimy gunk in the old one!

I bloody hope so! Bike seems fine, so am guessing (well praying) yes. Keep an eye out in the obituary pages though.
