Anywhere that will check out a slow puncture on a motorcycle tyre on the weekend? probably sunday or later today?
was out on a ride the other day.. was awful.. back tyre kept slipping and things were just not going as planned.. checked the pressure and it has gone down.. (edit - this is not the first time)

Good to know, had a slow leak on a front tyre for ages and ended up just getting a new one anyway as the rubber was getting a bit auld looking. Best decision ever.

I did think about it but they said the tyre was good so I'll go with that :)
The leak was actually from the bead so they sorted that out

Yeah that was me on the blue and white CBR600, Feckdeamon was there on the KTM. Was a good run but a tad chilly.

Cool, tell me about it I went on a wee run after I got my tyre sorted.. just to test it
Was going to sign up to one of the novice ride outs sometime when the weather gets a bit better! I haven't done much group riding apart from on training etc looks fun
