    Thanks for the comments. Decided not to bitch slap the wife, chainsawed a tree down instead, now off to get some cider!

    On the plus side these Power 3s are very good. Thought I was leaning over quite a bit but hardly marked the sides, so a little bit more scrubbing required eeek!

    Got a track day in a few weeks hopefully they are as good as or better than my previous BT16s.

    Wheel is off already and will hopefully be fixed early doors tomorrow.

    50 miles to first puncture has got to be a world record!

    If you left it on the bike I could have put a temp plug in it & then you could have taken the bike to tyre shop

    Thanks for the offer, I already had the bike on paddocks as I was doing some maintenance, so cheesed off whipped off the wheel and put it in the boot of the car as I couldn't bear looking at it any longer!
    Where's the best best local to get it fixed?

    Yes that's where I normally go, but went to Protyre in Slough as they were well cheap - but their tyre fitted is a bit of a gorilla and scratched my rims ( in the process of a complaint) . Lawrence @ HGB is a top banana.!

    This is what this forum is all about, like minded bikers helping each other. Makes me kinda fuzzy inside - but it could be the cider!
