Blew the rear tire leaving work on friday, they lock the place up til monday so it's been stuck there in our carpark. [B)]

I just need it moved from Sydney CBD to Erskineville. 10 mins away.

If anyone has a ute/trailer that can help me monday arvo/evening i'm happy to pay, shout a case, whatever.. or if you know someone who does this stuff can I have the number?

Otherwise i'll just call up a flatbed I guess.

Another argument to the missus on why I <s>want</s> need a ute. :(

Do you have a car? If you get desperate hire a trailer from a servo, the bigger ones are better. Youll need someone to help you lift the bike up tho.

I cant belive that someone in Sydney cant spare an hour of their time to give this bloke a hand, looks like ASF is going the same way as the the rest of motorcyclists, no one gives a fuck. Mate id give you a hand but im in QLD.

Mate I haven't got a car or ute but I've got spanners, would be happy to ride over after work and give you a hand to remove the back wheel so you can get a new tyre. If you need a hand I will help ya put it back on when you replace the tyre. My number is 0416513076

Jumping in a bit early there man. I only saw this post tonight (Sunday), otherwise I may have been able to help. Lotsa things to do on a weekend and Shitney isn't the easiest place to get around even on a good day. Especially compared to Brisbane.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

rod185651 thanks for the offer, appreciate it heaps.. prob is I don't have cash for a new tyre atm, so swapping it out on the spot isn't an option. Thanks though.

Jockney Rebel, ta, will give a call tomorrow from work and try organize a time. A plug would be sweet for now, it's just my commuter. Just wanna get it home and on a stand so I can wait til next pay and sort out a new tyre.

I'd help but my daily drive is a 72 mini, cant see that carrying much...
Maybe even go to MCAS and pick up a tire repair kit with a Co2 cylinder. Would be enough to get you home. They are easy enough to use too....

I'd hate to burst any bubble's here but WTF....
When i was a courier i had a little tool that can magicly repair tyre's. It's called a puncture repair kit, Cost's fuk all and is so quick to use when i had a puncture i would pull over and 3 sec later i was back on the road...
There called a wick seal punct repair kit...They even have a little co2 bottle in the kit to fill up ur tyre...
Dont leave home without one...

Bike's safely home!

Thanks HEAPS to SOS, will definitely be recommending them to whoever/whatever will listen to me.


scotty/Seifer: It was a pretty chunky screw that left a decent size hole, and i'd had to ride on the tyre for a bit, so I didn't feel comfortable plugging it.
