So went a run to.test new pads and Oberon clutch slave cylinder. Amazing run. Great weather. And a puncture from the crappy gravel they're laying near moffat . 3 miles of that crap crushed shell like gravel. I stopped for a cake and got back on the bike to a flat rear tyre. Needing replaced after a lot of motorway miles anyway so new road 5s rear ordered. Anyone ever got a puncture from that gravel crap?
Yes. In the south of France. On a knackered rear D207RR. I’d already ordered new tyres at the local bike shop, so just had the bike recovered there and playtime was resumed.
Nope. Over last 4 weeks it seems most of Norfolk’s B roads are getting the lethal top dressing surface treatment, Hit one patch and the stones were about 20mm!!! Nearly ripped my c/f front mudguard off the Pani. As stones got jammed in between the tyre and c/f. Made a horrible noise.
That gravel is on a few good roads here in the north east. Why in this day and age they pile mounds of that stuff inches thick on roads is beyond me.
I agree, I had a slide on loose resurfacing dressing coming out of Reepham last week, plus my mates Buell in front flung up a loose stone which hit my helmet a bid whack , funny thing was, we were only discussing wearing open face helmets in hot weather a few minutes before!
I complained Years back when the council did exactly this to a popular route. I nearly stacked my panigale on it and wrote them a letter. The road was re done (properly) within the week
