Flat tyre!!

When I rode home from Neill's after the visit tot he BMW dealers I had no idea that somewhere along the way I had picked up a screw in the rear tyre. Luckily it was right in the centre of the tread and easily fixable.  As I have cover with the RAC I called them and it was about three hours before the patrol turned up.  It's summer holidays so I wasn't working anyway. It took a few goes before he could get a plug to fit and then re-inflate the tyre from his compressor. The plug held. I called around the tyre places and only Watling Tyres at Swanley would have the staff in to remove the wheel and do the proper plug. So tomorrow I will take a slow, restricted to 50mph, ride up to Swanley.
