Somehow I managed to roll over some smashed mirror fragments outside the chippy in the middle of Market Harborough during a ride out. limped it to a petrol station and squeezed in 50psi to race around looking for an open garage. I found the only open garagevans luckily a young lad, who is going to register here, took pity on a fellow biker caught in a pickle 50 miles from home and took it on himself to risk getting sacked and try and fix it.
He lent me the 36mm wrench and a paddock stand (which he went home for) to remove the back wheel. Then used a car puncture repair and a bit of improvisation to shoe horn it in from the inside of the tyre. All to the tuts and disapproval of the boss who was clearly unhappy with Elliott helping me out.. They are a car only place and 'do not do bikes'.
Banged 42psi in and it held.
Wasn't charged for this but had a little cash on me to get him a drink.
Thanks Elliott for your help I hope your back side isn't too sore after the pummeling the gaffa have you after I'd gone.

top bloke, especially for going against the boss.. That takes some minerals.
