Lets just say lesson learnt, I ain't rough and I ain't tough, I'm retired and deserve the good life. Anyway it was a nail, centre of the tyre, I've got loads of new ones at home, good time to change to winter tyres but I AM NOT doing it!!
Bought a trolley jack and everything else people on here recommend, seems romantic being tough and doing manual work but  that, now off to play with my chopper as reward

Yep, glue a 1/4 drive socket onto the winch drive shaft and use a long extension with a ratchet drive, this allows the winch to be operated without unloading or lifting the rear seats.
Don't forget to put he wheel nut key back where you can find it. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
