Heard the rear go bang on the A11. Wasn't until about a mile later I realised the wobble! Note to all....Well worth keeping a repair kit under the cowl!! I didn't, but lucky I have a good friend who would happily go outta their way, use their kit, and follow me all the way home at 50.

Another new rear I'll have to sandpaper the chicken strips off!!

Dude, I think your bike may have some bad ju-ju! At least you didn't come off though.

You have the worst luck in the universe. Please, if you ever see me on the road, don't come near

You don't by any chance use the chevron areas of road for overtakes? they are full of road debris.

Happened to me a couple of years back - got the tyre replaced and got another on the way home!

But, you are jinxed Chilli. Next thing it'll be the engine that goes pop! (I'm touching wood it doesn't!).
