IF you have tubeless tyres....

Me, I carry a socket to undo the axle nut. It's not the spanner that's
big and difficult to carry, it's the tyre levers.

Doesn't work with tubes, so those of us stuck in last century still
have to remove our tyres. Well, partly remove.

Look, you'll either get a flat somewhere, or nowhere. If you're
somewhere, odds are someone will turn up and give you a lift.
If you're nowhere, that phone is pretty ****ing useless anyway,
right?

If you're into travelling in dark, mysterious places, learn to
fix a puncture!

Ok, thanks everyone. I have tubeless tyres and have heard of the
foam/gas cylindars (sp), but didn't know about the plug type repair
kits that don't involve having to take your wheel off.

I will prob join up with RACQ but the site isn't too helpful esp for
mc. Will prob just go in and talk with them.

cheers.

RACV has a bike membership, but unlike SA if you have any other bikes or
cars you have to pay individually. Someone scores well there. SA has the
best system, the person is covered. I am only able to ride 1 bike at a time.

First you have to pay for your HRCA membership.

Look, Wollongong wasn't that bad. Industry had the place pretty much lit
up. Oh, you mean Wodonga......

If you join up "when you need it" on the same call, it costs you about $130 or something stupid.
but the way around it i've been told is to call RACQ (well it im in nsw, so nrma for me) and join up
and then call up roadside assistance 10 mins later . im 24 and it costs me $63 membership/yr.
