Both wheels of his Honda ST1300 are dameged because of hitting rocks in the roadside. Nobody has a new set of wheels for him. It will take a few days to get him out of there.

Godverdomme

I have bashed dents out of car wheels before no problem.

But it is a risk.

Google for Bike Breakers Unless you have already tried that.

This rear any use?

I'd be saying "fuck it what do I have to lose?" remove the tyre and take a hammer to it to see if i could get a good enough seal to ride it back to civilisation.
Ullapool eh?
Dont go out after dark !

I'd be tempted to attempt to bash that out carefully and then fit a tube. With care it'd get you out of trouble.

I've been to Ullapoool, it was shut.

call me cynical, but.....

stuck somewhere, buckled wheels from hitting a rock so far off the road you'd have to aim at it, deliberately, and damage BOTH wheels??

so, what you do is sign up to BCF to ask, rather than googling local garages etc, or the nearest dealership.

then you actually take the time to add a sig to your profile? because that feels like the most important thing to do with your time.....

or am I just grumpy today?

if it's just me, then Meh. i'll go back to bed.

Carrying on the 'what have i got to lose?' theme
I'd find/ask a local farmer.
Most of the farmers I've met had workshops with big vises, hammers etc
to fix their stuff and bashing a bike wheel back into some semblance of order wouldn't faze them.
There may be half decent mechanics or engineers locally who'd have the kit to have a go at it too for all I know.

Just heat the wheel and put it in a vice. Try this workshop 0.4 m from your hotel. https://goo.gl/maps/wqAHy

That wheel can be bashed and fixed as a bodge.

This is fucked.
