Yes if I am working on the roof or outside, but not so good working in a plant rooms and boilers room etc.
Do you use tyre safe in you tyres, or is it recommended?
Tyre safe is a gunge that is pumped into your tyres to prevent punctures. Some people don't like it, where others find it good.
For me it has always been the aerial rides like the big dipper , now called lots of other names.
Have you ever fitted your own tyres?
Yes i have, many years ago on my the BSA's i used to run.
No i did'nt raid my mum's teaspoon drawer either to use them as tyre levers, i had the proper levers
Are you confident enough to tackle major repairs on your bike ??
I am on my old beemer, but not so sure about the FJR, probably everything except the engine as technology has moved on, particularly the electronics etc.
If it were necessary would you do a road side puncture repair, or call someone out?
I usually prefer teh smaller mcc ones bt last year it was the ~HArley Riders of Great Britain rally on mersea island... it was amazing how they had it set up, 3 bars, 3 big areas to sit in marquees or in teh bar, live bands in middle bit with dancing etc, disco in other bit with dance floor, outdoor sitting bit with all diff foods, showers, poker run ride on the saturday, raffle, custom show with live music, the usual stalls selling stuff, and bar open serving till last man standing which ws us lot at about 4am each morning
best rally i ever been to that was
and this year im cant wait for the Thunder in the Glens
sausage and mash or sausage and chips?

What is your favorite part of a rally?
No real Favourite part, just like meeting new people and having a great time.
Do you prefer to cook your own food or buy what is on offer at rallies ??
I would prefer to cook my own, but I don't. If there is somewhere to buy a good meal, I will do that, if not I have what ever is available on the site.
What do you find a good cruising speed if you are on a long run?
I have very little choice other than to work until I drop (pension only minuscule)
If you did retire and money wasn't an issue, what bike would you get and where would you go on it?

What one item should you take to a rallie (not including tent)
