Well tank you fellas for your input / advice ....
In reply ......Slice ..... I appreciate pump, compressed air etc, but if I've got a flat tyre that tells me it won't hold air ?
Cynic !! I like your approach to this bikin stuff .. u made me smile.
Foamy ... I've googled " that green gunk shit " but didn't get many results ?? I thought it might have been a brand name ??
Aaaaand another thing ! u can't have " speeds ", it doesn't have a plural, u can have high or low, but not both, unless u say " he moved at variying speeds " .... tell me to shut up ...
Thanks for your input fellas, and I gain from it that it isn't worth concerning myself with ... Is it Cynic ?
Stay safe,

Hi all,
Enjoying a ride up in the cotswolds recently a thought came to mind, PUNCTURE ! what if I get a puncture in the middle of nowhere, I've got breakdown and recovery etc but I am wondering what you lads or lasses would suggest as a " get you home / garage " type solution.
From when I used to ride many years ago I seem to recall a can of foam type stuff ?? I could be dreaming tho.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions from you time served people.
Many thanks,
Inpar.

I thought my tale of woe might have encouraged a few to " fess up ", made me smile.
Blackhat250 ... plonker you say ... nope I didn't use that word for myself ..... though one of the words I did use had 2 of the same letters, they were the P and the R and they were in that order strangely enough !

Decided to take my newly acquired Draggy for a spin yesterday, lovely sunny day tra la la.
Stopped for petrol 1.3 miles from home, paid for petrol, sat on bike, ignition, starter button .... nothing !
To cut a very long story short I called the breakdown / recovery ppl after trying to bump it , the first chap came and couldn't start it with a jump and had the wrong vehicle to lift it, so a second vehicle was called for.
In the meantime I decided to text the chap I bought it from to see if he had any ideas .... The 3 magic rules came as the reply
1. Sidestand.
2. Neutral.
3. Kill switch.
I chose number 3 and went home calling myself some wonderfull names. In my defence this is my first bike in many years and I'm also stupid !
It'll never happen again !.

By "ish " I meant 57 ....
Hello to all and each . I'm returning to the world of biking after a lull of about oooooh 30 odd years or so .
I used to commute from Swansea to Bristol daily on a Pan European, wonderfull !
I recently underwent a life changing experience .. renal failure ! ... I came out of that and thought " sod it !, life is short, I'm gonna have some fun and enjoy myself "
Foolishly I thought I was still 30 odd years old and bought myself a Pan ! Wrong decision , lovely as it was I had to admit it was too much bike for me, I no longer had the physical or mental ability to handle one of these ... so I bought it on a Friday, and sold it on the Sunday.
I'm now the proud owner of an xvs 650 dragstar, 97 , 15,200 ish miles ... black and shiney and beautifull.
What a lovely shape these bike are !.
I had confidence on this bike immediately, centre of gravity etc etc, so when I eventually convince my wife to " come along " It'll all be ok ... hmmmm
I'll be back soon and look out for rides and chat etc.. keep smiling.
Dave.
