step away from fwr. Personally I'm never going there they dropped 2 mate's bikes and incorrectly fitted rear Caliper on another. Unless things have changed radically there I would avoid! Assuming it's a nail or screw see if you can put a temp repair on to ride it somewhere for repair. Personally, given you've got single sided swing arm I'd go to a garage rather than a tyre fitment place since correct torque on your nuts ooer is even more important. Give southernspeed in slutton a go.

Myself (when I worked in Vauxhall) and a mate of mine who still works in London use FWR and we've never had any issues with them, but then I won't go near Dobles with a barge pole Confused

Heard some good things about them lately - they might be under some sort of new management as I believe the guy who owned it was killed in Spain on his Desmodici.

Quite a character by all accounts:-

Relax mate - your driving standard (as far as I am a judge) was well up to the task on the weekend ride.

Just remember the observations and give yourself enough time at junctions to do it right.

Good luck.
