As it happened, I had a spare set of bearings and all the tools to change them (less a hammer) on the bike so I fixed them in his carpark.


I only just read this but wanted to come back and give a "what the fuck?" of disbelief.


I've changed (albeit badly) the o ring thats used as a gasket on top an RS125 by the roadside using nothing but the key to my oxford lock and an allen key. Laughing Stinkwheel is prepared.

I once had a set of wheel bearings posted to the Sligachan hotel on Skye (I was camping there) and fixed my R100RT in their car park. I did have to nip into Portree on my partner's bike to pick up a screwdriver to use as a drift though. Laughing
