No point in buying a lotto ticket you used all your luck, I dont think that would have looked too good sticking out of your foot!!!!!!!!!!!

Kerriiiist, what a fluke. Lucky it wasn't your foot!! :shock: :shock:

You just can't estimate the variety of things that can possibly ruin your day. :roll:

Glad your OK and thank your demons that nothing other than a new tyre is required, cause you coulda crashed, been pierced or both when you consider it all.

Pabs,

Me and Missus me are moving to Five Dock this weekend. We've been staying with a mate (Steve who you met at Wisemans) and now that we both work close to the city thought it was about time to move within an hours drive...

BTW, I had a similar thing happen to a tyre on my last bike... I had 2 punctures though - much to the dismay of my mate at Pro Honda who had fixed the first one and put the wheel back on the bike before realiseing there was a seond one... :lol: :?
