[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 151426, member: 302"] Riding back from Breakish on the Isle of Skye in 1975 (on Rapide), I was 25 years of age, apparently I had a partially perished rear inner tube, I managed to pick up 3 x separate punctures in 3 different locations, I repaired all 3 three punctures with my trusty repair kit, and inflated the tyre with my trusty under the fuel tank pump, and still managed to ride back to Kempston, Bedford, in one hit, arrived back in the early hours, totally knackered, had to fight sleep for the few miles of the journey. Sadly that sort of stamina left me a few years ago, but I did manage a front inner tube change about 10 years ago, perhaps we just get lazy! [/QUOTE]
