G'day everyone,
This RR is covering the attempt of Carrol and myself to attend the QLD RTE on the 12/08/2017.
The day was going well, Carrol and myself were enjoying the ride and were only about 20mins away when there was a bang from under the bike and the handling started to get a bit heavy
We pulled over and found the rear tyre had a puncture, I tried to repair it but it didn't work
So we called for a tow, while waiting every bike rider that passed signaled to see if everything was okay
We just gave them the thumbs up as there was nothing to do but wait. (Bike riders are awesome people
)
After a while STimpy showed up and stopped to provide assistance and some company
We discovered that cattle trucks have an unique smell and if the rear tyre comes away from the bead a winch is required to move the ST
STimpy, thank you for all the help and time spent on the side of the road with us, your company was exemplary
Anyway I have compiled a bit of video covering some of the highlights of the day.
