Post by: gsxrsam on April 25, 2010, 07:08:24 AM
you will like this..  ;D

mate phil sets off from scotch corner ish down to mine (bout 70 miles) on his tractor, oops sorry, HARLEY, notices has flat tyre when gets to york ring road.

rings up, so off i go armed with trusty 20p plug in compressor and we blew it up/stopped/blew up to get him to mine..

stuck it on lift, remove wheel, manual bead breaker, then off to see neighbour to use tyre machine..

tube out and its ripped in 2 places, remove nail from tyre and repair......

now bear in mind its mid afternoon, its a 180/70/16 tyre size and everywere shut at dinnertime were we could get new tube...!!

I`ve got a feeling this is too obvious. Ernest Does and it`s the same size as a tractor front wheel?

nay nay and thrice nay..

we converted his spoked wheel to tubeless with the aid of mastic, gaffer tape and valve out of my busted ducati wheel.

pumped it up and off he went, it not only got home its still up  :o ::)  ;D
