Ok, so it's fairly unlucky to get a puncture, but what are the odds on getting four, yes four, punctures at the same time?

It's losing about 1psi every 3 hours so going to see about getting it replaced tomorrow. Found four, what appear to be, small nails through the tyre about 45° off-centre on the nearside.

Just my luck. Just as I'm finally getting better at cornering, finally getting better at leaning that little bit further, using that last edge of the tyre and this happens. Back to nanny riding when the new tyre's on

Bad luck! 4 at once is not good news. Take it easy on the new tyre for a little while, but with the current weather, it should be scrubbed off pretty quickly.

Two of my previous ones were fun - both times back tyre went down fairly instantaneously. First was on a single carriageway while overtaking with oncoming traffic, second was doing about 95mph on the M40.
