    Puncture Repair Kits..

    I must admit I do have a similar kit, and used it, successfully. One strange thing is John I have this feeling they are 'permitted' on motorbikes. Never owned one so never had cause to check, as said just a feeling. At one time punctures were repaired using solid rubber bungs which it was...

At least if you consider me 'odd', living and working in Essex since my teens at least I am not the same type of 'odd' person that has sari fetishes.
