BIT OF A LET DOWN

[bully1]

After my coffee this morning I headed off on the outfit to catch up with Jim Cairns in Gidgeganup then onto Sawyers Valley, halfway along Stoneville rd the bike felt a bit squeemish, I pulled up to watch the rear tyre deflate in front of me .

I jacked the bike up and got out the pump, couldn't get any air into the tyre so removed it from the bike, no visible signs of puncture, Put an air cannister into it and heard the gas escaping from the tyre, turned it over and couldn't see anything, my pump couldn't put enough volume of air into the tyre. A bloke pulled up in a ute and said he'd run it into Mundaring to check it out. Whilst I waited another chap ( Warren ) pulled up on his GSA, we chatted away for a while then the ute arrived back with the news that air was leaking out of the bead, the tyre was seated and the air was still coming out. tyres have done less than 100kms. Up that creek without a paddle !!

Warren volunteered to get his ute and bring me and the bike home , worked out that he'd been here before, for a workshop day, not a member but a keen BMW owner who gets on the website. took the tyre off but can't find anything wrong with the rim, I'll get another tyre fitted early in the week but won't have a chance to shake it down before next weekend , have to cross the fingers.

Just goes to show that there are plenty of good people out there.

Sorry to read about your bad luck with your Tyre/Rim? Bully, Hope you manage to get it sorted soon.

Wonderful to know that YES there are still some good people out there willing to put themselves out to assist where and when they can.

See you on the weekend
