Jeez how long did that take?? 8 hours odd since we left the airport. Sorry you've had such a trial - what is it they say - a good turn never goes unpunished? Pah I don't believe that, but thanks again for organising today, much appreciated.

No worries.
Home now, inspect the damage tomorrow in the daylight.
Thanks for the offer Moose, next time I will.

Rac, but after the failed tyre plug they subbed it out to a local firm.

You should make a massive complaint Si, that's awful service. Subbed out or not RAC are still responsible. Glad you got home safe.
When Gaz called the AA in Lynton we were done within an hour or so.

Yeah. Still haven't been down to look for damage down to either the plug failing at 60MPH or the way the Ike was strapped to the truck.

Bleedin RAC. Thats who left my mate stranded just outside Weymouth with nowhere to shelter for 6 + hours. Broke down about 4 pm ,got home about 12.30 am. They subbed it out to someone else then aswell. Must say the 3 times the KTM broke down
http://www.sos-direct.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; where there promptly (thru KTM breakdown) but I see they have started their own recovery service now.
