Punctured my new tyre

[McGee]

Karma has a bad way of messing with ya.


On Thursday I had a new tyre fitted.

Well Friday night on the way to a party I picked up a screw that is about 3 inches long in my rear tyre I pulled up and you could hear the air coming out. Pissed off to say the least less than 40 miles on it and its flat lol.

So I spent all of today running between my mates house with my wheel and tyre.

They plugged my old(new) one and gave me a new one for $100 fitted to the wheel. But I have already missed out on some amazing riding weather

Any one else had the same experience; buy a brand new tyre and you puncture it the next day

McGee i got a puncture in my new 2CT rear, less than 100 miles on it

[TheDonUK]

I got a puncture dead in the middle of my front last week, £15 fix and it seems fine...

I've yet to experience that. And I hope I don't when I get my tyre changed.

BTW, that exhaust is the sex

yep, did it on my first bike a lifan lf100 (copy of c90), got the tire replaced for m.o.t and got a puncture the next day, luckily they were tubed though so cheaper.

johnsilva bought a new pirelli diablo on the rear on his 7r, and one day before the IOM, he got a nail in it... oh how i laughed!
pity when he took it out it hadn't actually punctured it

I got a puncture in a rear Pilot Power after it was about a third/half worn. The new one got punctured about a week after fitting it (still got it in the shed, properly repaired with a mushroom plug).

My mate got a nail in his rear tyre 2weeks after passing/buying his bike. Got a new one and same happened about 3months later, now he needs a new front and back as front was due but rear ok. Just after he's had his fairing repaired from dropping it - Luck just isn't on his side is it!

Had three sets of tyres in as many months, two of them with punctures in and now my new 2CT is one of the recalls.

[Dazbo666]

I had a rivet stuck in my BT45 rear within a few hundred miles and about three weeks of owning the bike.
£30 to a local mobile mechanic and it was sorted within an hour...

I've now done about 6000 miles in all weathers on the same tyre with no problems, I just hope the same bad luck doesn't strike when I get to replace it in the next month or so

I always have the 400 mile curse- i get punctures every 2nd tyre at the rear every 400 miles! Always been the case. Dunno about you Mc Gee, you must be some dumb fuck... been riding over a field of glass shards recently??

Whilst fettling my bandit last year I noticed half a drill bit in the rear tyre. "Oh bother" I thought. And pulled it out.

The tyre deflated and the bike fell off the stand, breaking the brake lever, mirror and scratching up the fairings and brand new r&g can protector.

I didn't say "bother" then.

[McGee]

I come off lightly then
