years ago I couldn't fix a puncture on my CB250Rs and I'd had a go 3 or 4 times, I never was that bad and had a good teacher who showed me how to avoid pinching the tube

eventually I gave up and took it to Chas Mann in kings norton birmingham where the mechanic "Fat Eric" eventually ran his hand round inside the tyre at his third attempt and found a hypodermic needle in the sidewall by stabbing it through his finger, thankfully in the days before HIV and hepatitus were a worry with used needles

This got in my tyre once.

Done this to the tyre:

And that was on a brand new bt45 that had done less than 300 miles, but luckily it didn't puncture so I just filled it with vulcanizing glue and now you can't even tell where it was. Smile

Can't realy show you but I have had loads, screws, nails etc.

Biggest one was when I was despatch riding. Riding a long Holburn in London, going fairly slow as I filtering in heavy traffic, when I hear clang, clang, clang, comming from the back wheel.
So I stop and find an 8" mangled screwdriver embedded in the side wall!

Went with a proper bang too, and could hear it pissing air even with my lid on in traffic. Was just less than a mile from home so just rode it back slowly. Had to get the AA out to plug the tyre so I could ride it to a tyre place. Even after he put in the biggest plug he had it was still pissing air like a good 'un, so he followed me to the garage to make sure I got there before it went flat.

Can't remember exactly how much it cost me for a D209, but it was farkin pricey. Never used that tyre fitters again!

The D207's that were fitted when I got the bike were really old and shit, so wasn't a bad thing to be rid of them tbh.

I think he means for free...

And I bet half the shit that ends up in tyres is off those bloody scrap metal vans that are everywhere these days

I seem to have a habit of getting punctures in newly fitted rear tyres...
I recently managed to pick up half a Stanley knife blade in a 3 week old Dunlop Qualifier
and I previously picked up a 3-4 inch phillips / cross head screw in a Bridgestone rear tyre that had less than 500 miles on it

just lucky I guess Shocked

We were just meant to remove the nails and shit, and if they were scrap they went through a massive chipper machine for tyres and if they were part worn but punctured they would be marked up and sent to a firm wich used to repair them and sell them on,are plant was only processing not repairs but they guy i used to work with would sort his friends out with a new tyres or partworns,or do repairs for abit of quick cash and thats why i say he repaired it on the sly!

The company operated under kiwk-fit, it was called murfitts industries if you type murfitts tyre fire into youtube you should see when the plant in littleport caught fire haha probably would of seen the fucker burning from outta space 😂
