Flattie :o(

My first blow out at speed...
Tootling along the A43 towards home and suddenly it feels like the
wheels are falling off, so I pulled, well, wobbled into one of the
notorious dogging laybys and examined a very sorry looking back tyre.
Flat as a pancake (
Called the AA who took 30 mins to come and tell me they can't repair it
because the valve is broken.
45 minutes later a lifter comes and takes me home. Very exciting. I got
to go in the big truck with the flashing lights :\
Thanks to the Bandit 6 rider who stopped to see if I was OK.
Yaa boo sucks to the 25 or so others who passed me by.

 

A lifter? In a dogging spot.
Was it a shirtlifter?
Did you?

 

Glad you got over ok. The callout could have been a whole lot
slower...

I always pull over if I see another biker stuck... I believe its
passed on...

It's karma, man, karma.

 

<nods>

 

The Bandit rider will have been the only one going slow enough to slow
down in time to help.

 

Heh, probably that I'm a sap for a hardluck line...

No, though I think I was scoped by a tall trucker in horrible shorts. He
kept walking past me up and down the layby. Eww... *shudder*

Hello? My first blow out, I said. Besides, I'm married, I don't do blow
jobs any more ;op

Well I'm only going on hearsay.
