Will be seeking out AJS's puncture repair expertise once back from the Pyrenees. Managed to get a puncture on the shoulder of one of my fairly new ATRs.

So finally got the HTS 60 fitted. Nice ride and pretty quiet too...Thanks Andy and team.

Old Continentals finally replaced at 300 miles short of 50k. Not bad. Series 2a V8 killed it

How?

Tempting fate I know, but ATR's are tougher than the toughest thing, as well you know.

No idea how I did it but it was at the end of a road run from Spain into France. One of our group saw it was flat when we reached the camp site, somebody pointed out that they thought it looked pretty flat as a pancake when we did a U turn (~15 miles before the camp site) but didn't think that would have been useful info to pass to me. By that time it had been driven on for too long. Yeah, thanks a lot mate.

Nothing left in there, just a clean hole on the shoulder leaking air at a rate of knots. It was virtually new and might have been saved if I knew about it quickly enough. I'd just swapped it out for a virtually worn out ATR thinking I might need the grip. Bitter and twisted, moi?

Update**

Grabber HTS

Love these tyres!

Quiet, plenty of grip and road manners are spot on.

Very impressed and really recommend them. Now just got to play off the tarmac
