Modern Vespa's don't carry spares plus I was just a half mile from home. The thing that makes me mad is that it was a brand new tire, maybe less than 1200 miles on it. (I'll have to check my log book). Elbow feels better today, plenty of anti-inflammatory last night plus iced it on and off all evening and over night. Plus keep flexing it so it doesn't freeze up and it keeps the blood flowing. I can tell that my ulnar nerve got a bit injured (crushed it once so I know) so my left hand grip is not good. May take a few days. I'd go to the dr but what are they going to tell me that I am not already doing?
Later today I'll get under the bike and see if I can see where the failure is. I'm supposed to lead the long ride during our rally in two weeks and I don't know if I can get a new rear tire by then (slow service at our local dealership) so maybe I'll have to lead on the 450!!
