Mine is an RAC membership.
My last 4 punctures were not repairable at the roadside and 3 of them were not repairable at all.
Essex roads seem to be littered with screws which always seem to slice the tyre rather than the usual nail puncture.

I was going to say ... "My last 4 puntures" ... only had 1 on my own bike and 1 on a job bike ... not bad for 30 yrs riding .. but then I don't live in Essex !

That's no way to talk about the local constabulary George

Last puncture was in 2009, screw in rear tyre on 1400.
Hole was 1" long and too close to the sidewall.
RAC got me home.

Previous was in 2006, screw in rear tyre on my Honda Legend in the South of France.
Swapped with spare and repaired at a tyre specialists in Aubagne but required tyre removal to repair.

Back in 2003 on my Vauxhall Carlton managed to get a door handle spindle inside the tyre.
You know, the square cross-section bar that connects the 2 door handles in a door.
Not sure who was more surprised, the tyre guy or me. Tyre was ruined, and was only 2 weeks old!

And prior to that had a nasty one on the rear of my GS550E in 1991 between Spofforth and Harrogate.
That sliced a 3" hole in both inner and outer.
The tyre went flat in a couple of seconds and somehow I managed not to crash.
Had to replace both tube and the Avon Ditchfinder.
RAC got me to my sisters in Harrogate and I took the wheel to local bike shop.
