In 40 years of motorcycling only ever had two punctures.
First one a rear on Honda CB750, tubed tyres then, so recovered to home. Second one on Fazer 1000, front with Bridgestone 020 that had 70 miles on it. Tyre fitter wouldn't repair it so had to buy another one. It was a small wood screw dead centre of tyre.I wasn't happy .lol.
Blimey. I thought I was doing well with so few!
It’s frustrating when a tyre gets ruined so soon after fitting.
I wrecked the Fazer’s front tyre on the A316 once… the car ahead straddled what I thought was a paper bag. I was following a bit too close and by the time I realised it was actually a 5” cube of rubble it was too late to avoid it. The bike went airborne and it’s more due to its stability than any talent on my part that it stayed upright after landing.
The month-old front was left with a big bulge in the sidewall. :'(
